He is not regurgitating anything and is eating and drinking normally. He seems rather unbothered by it. His throat looks normal from what I can tell. His vet is away for a week and I am uneasy about taking him to a vet that does not know ferrets - they seem to do a whole lot of unnecessary poking and prauding.
The gag is very brief - almost like he got a bad taste in the back of his throat all of a sudden, except is happens about 50% of the time he yawns?
