yeah i learned all about regurgitation as well as demi had a couple episodes of volcano vomitting with no effort no stomach pumping and it was after drinking water. It was a ton of vomit too more than I have ever seen. She has not done it in a long time thank goodness and they think just a stomach upset and possibly bad chicken so i switched to cod instead of chicken and no more upsets. What i was surprised is megaesophagus I always thought was in younger dogs but they said no they can get it at any age.

ETA: here is info on regurgitation
