Are you doing chemo? Any change in diet or medications (new supplements?)? Could he have eaten anything vile outside?
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

Yes, I need more info. Current meds? Diet change?
If this dog was fine yesterday and just got sick today you can try 20 mg Pepcid twice daily and a bland diet (chicken or cottage cheese and rice). Giant dogs are of course prone to bloat so if the dog is trying to vomit and nothing is coming up or if the dog seems excessively depressed or lethargic or has pale, tacky gums then you need to get to a vet ASAP. This is something that Saints are very prone to.
Sorry for the delay in response, I hope he is feeling better soon!
