The below is for rosies:

Flagyl (Metrodinazole I think) works wonders for rosies, and it is hard to overdose.

Rosies can be sensitive to stress and temperatures. Any out-of-the-ordinary changes can induce regurgitation. So can housing 2 together if they do not know each other (raising young together is fine - they do great together as adults. But when you put two adults together that have not been together before, and it isn't breeding season, then one may get stressed, rare but happens.)

I would first bump up temps as suggested, don't feed, then administer Flagyl, then feed small meal.

The above works when the regurgitation is not a symptom of something more severe, like cancer or organ failure.
