Sounds pretty serious.  Possible blockage?  And even though it's not
common, how about megaesophagus.  I've heard of this in a few ferrets.
It's a condition where the esophagus becomes distended and looses its
ability to move the food down to the stomach.  The food sits there in the
esophagus and ends up being vomited back up.  That's a layman's version of
the problem.
 
Of course Taz should be going to the vet and hopefully it's nothing that
serious.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
