Thanks for reaching out about Zinnia. Regurgitation can be caused by inhaled or ingested toxins (plants, paint, zinc, lead, etc.), metabolic problems (liver or kidney disease), infectious agents, gastrointestinal foreign bodies, just to name a few. A veterinary visit is recommended soon as when they are regurgitating, they are not digesting food. Good luck.
