I agree with what everyone else said but I'd like to add from my own experience. My male started regurging a while back. It was probably 3 or 4 meals that came back up on him. I started skipping a few feedings in between and kept the food items on the smaller side, after a few months of doing this he was right back up to his regular feeding schedule and he's been that way ever since. But it would definetely be a good idea to get her checked out. You can never be too careful and early detection is always best. Keep her well hydrated, feed smaller rodents and inject them with some electrolytes such as Pedialyte before you offer them to her. I do this with my Gabs for every feeding as they are not big fans of drinking.
