Normally what cures this is time. If your boa has lost too much of its' body mass it's in trouble.
.
The reasons these situations start are stress, dehydration, stress, excessive prey-size, stress, temperature extremes, stress, parasites, stress (you get the idea).
.
Look closely at the boa if it has acceptable body weight and looks otherwise normal then you may have good results from simply waiting about ten days and feeding a very small meal (something OTHER than what it has been tossing up is a good idea also). make sure it has high humidity and can find it's water dish (refreshed at least daily).
.
If your boa has lost so much of its' weight that it can no longer produce the enzymes and proteins to digest a meal then a vet trip (to a qualified vet) is in order.
.
Hope that helps.
