I agree Bill. I think I would give it a dose of Flagyl(Metronidazole) at the rate of 50 mg/kg of body weight and wait about 12-14 days, then see how things go starting off with very small meals to absolutely ENSURE it doesn't risk any more regurges and it's gut is back to working properly. Yes, the probiotics(good bacteria) would indeed work great in conjuction with the Flagyl AFTER the 12 to 14 day medication period to kill any intestinal bacteria(both good and bad) and allow it's stomach acids, electrolytes and gut flora to replenish itself once again to normal working order. This very often works just as sure as the sun rises..
