I wanted to get a few opinions -  I had a pretty sick little boy a couple of weeks ago.  In the morning I felt a little moisture on my head, but didn't think too much of it. (He was sitting on my head).  In the afternoon he was on my shoulder when I saw him throw up. I thought - maybe regrugatation??  Then it happened again and again and again.  This was NOT Regrug.  He was sick!   So I put him in his small cage with dry food and water and put a little bit of ACV in his water.  Money was VERY tight so I really didn't want to take him to a vet - I would have if he got worse! 
What, other than a trip to the vet would any of you have tried?

You did exactly what I would have done. Glad he is feeling better. Any idea what he might have been sick with?

I try to put ACV in their water a couple of times a week, but hadn't in a while.   I really don't know what made him sick.  I have been fighting mice in the kitchen.  Now, I KNOW they didn't get to the poison - that is well hidden.  But I do wonder if they might have chewed on something the mice crawled on or pooped on. 
Anyway, I did get a message to Betty - CJ I know you know who she is.  She told me to make some ginger tea out of ginger root and give him.  Wouldn't you know I didn't have any ginger root!!  But I did have some crystallized ginger, so I rinsed it off as well as I could and gave him a bit that night and twice the next day.  I think that did the trick.  He didn't make much noise for a couple of days, but is back to normal - for him! LOL
