Ack! Regurg!

Well, the little lavender that I brought home almost a month ago, Jake, has not only regurged for me once, but now twice.

The first time, I left him alone for three days and then went to change his paper towel, and the next day, there it was.

I waited just over 12 days to feed him again to be on the safe side, and fed him a smaller meal, and there it was this morning when I got off work. This time it was just about 2 days after I fed him.

I have not handled him hardly at all since the first feeding to be on the safe side, but now I don't have any idea what is going on. At first, I thought it might have something to do with a curious cat watching him at night, but I am pretty sure that the cat has not been up there since the second feeding (due to figuring out that if he goes up there, he will quickly become wet. Smart cat (?)).

Any advice on what to do? Should I feed extremely small sectioned pinkies in 8-11 days? I am just hoping that he pulls through this alright and that there isn't any permanent damage.
 
Ok, after posting this here, I realized that there was actually a forum for feeding/health problems. Sorry about that. You can move this if need be.
 
If you look up Kathy Love's regurg protocol, you'll find just about any answer you have for this problem. Where are you in IN? I have some nutribac that I just got from Kathy if you need some. I only have a few snakes, so I've got lots to spare, but I think it's something everyone should have in their snake kit!
 
Hmm - i have never heard of kathy loves regurg info - where do you find it? is it on her website?
 
Thank you so much! I don't know why I was having trouble finding that link. I was apparently searching in the wrong place when it was right in front of my nose.
 
Wahoo! Little Jake ate a pinkie head and I had several very nice poos to look at. He's currently on his second pinkie head now. Hopefully this one goes just as well as the first.
 
Thanks! I'm pretty sure that I have discovered that one of my cats has taken a particular interest in him, and that moving him and also feeding pinkie heads has solved the problem. Hopefully (for my sanity), he won't do this again.
