I think feeding it again after only 4 days is still VERY much pressing the snake's digestive system Brad. It would be great to visually see exactly what size these meals are right next to your snake as opposed to just the gram weight of these meals, but I think the snake is FAR better off with not taxing it's stomach seeing how much and how often it can eat. This probably brought you right back to square one.

The snake has more than enough robust body weight from what I remember seeing, and keeping it from regurging more and going backwards with more declining issues are far more important than seeing how much it can eat again.

Without actually seeing the size of these meals you are offering compared directly next to the snake, it is hard for me to visualize if they are too much. But SMALL meals not as often are paramount until you absolutely know it is keeping them down for a good while.

Maybe you should dose it again one or two more times and don't feed it AT ALL as before until a good 10 to 14 days after the last treatment. At this point, the snake is better off not being fed ANYTHING than risking more gurges. It has plenty of body weight to afford this. What it CANNOT afford, is it's intestinal tract being taxed more. I know I whenever I needed to use the medication, I made damn sure the meals were so small it wouldn't jeopardize going right back to where it was before, and one small meal to keep the length of the meal shorter in it's stomach would seem much safer and easier to digest.
