The post above is correct most likely it is internal parasites or internal unrest. You simply can't feed BCC like BCI as they will gurge. And if you continue to attempt to feed without giving them time of or figure out what is causing them to gurge then you will continue to spiral them down-hill.

Baytril is def. not the answer, it is for respiratory problems and this simply isn't the case. In fact it could do more harm then good on a little snake. I'd say keep the animal in optimal conditions, keep it well hydrated give it two weeks from it's last gurge and try a very small fuzzy or something with hair. (substantially smaller then a normal meal) make sure it holds it down, then give it another two weeks and repeat. You need to work slowly to restart the animal and then use great care as to not invoke another spell or regurgitations.

Maybe look into a product called nutri-bac to replenish the animals good bacteria that can and most likely is serverly depleated due to parasites or regurgitation.

Also make sure you have a vet that knows what he or she is doing. Not to second guess your vet but the treatment is all wrong and I'm assuming costly.
