I think we are talking apples vs oranges here. I was referring to small corns from hatchling size to 3 months old that regurge because of a prey item too large. They normally need a brief rest period, and smaller prey for their next feeding, which is normally from 5 to 7 days anyway, hopefully with some dusted probiotics.
I am not talking about an established corn that begins regurgitation for no apparent reason, or a large prey item that causes multiple regurgitation. Following the protocol is sound advice, however, not a guarantee that such a snake will survive. There are far too many variables, internal tumors, impactions, coccidiosis, or other diseases. We all hate to lose one of our snakes, and try to do everything we can for their health and well being.
