Thanks for reaching out about Bugie. Does she have the opportunity to chew on things she should not? Heavy metal toxicity (zinc, lead) are the most common causes of regurgitation. A radiographs at any veterinary clinics should be able to determine easily. The prognosis is good with treatment. Apple cider vinegar might help with a decrease of bacteria in the water but is not a treatment for an intestinal infection. Other causes include metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections, toxicities, viral or fungal diseases and more. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid but is not a treatment. Good luck.
