If it regurges another small meal next feeding in a couple weeks, I strongly suspect a pathogenic parasite is likely the cause, and depending on what exactly it is, Flagyl(Metronidazole), and/or Panacur(Fenbendazole) would be strong candidates for administration by the vet. I would even suggest it, and see what the vet's response is.

One thing about Flagyl though,....do NOT attempt to feed for at least a week and a half or so AFTER final treatment, as Flagyl kills good bacteria as well as bad in the intestinal tract, so this has to again, allow the stomach to replenish itself again for proper digestion.

Dosage for Flagyl is as follows:

25-50 mg/per kg of body weight(repeat in 14 days)....I use the stronger 50 mg dose, as this drug is well tolerated by snakes.

Dose for Panacur is as follows:

50-100 mg/per kg of body weight(repeat in 14 days)


good luck with everything!, ~Doug
