Yes a top load spin cycle would have been rough. I think that he could have survived it. The fact that he threw up would tell me that he must have been thrashed around, held his breath or ingested something. If the wash was set to hot I would with out a doubt take him in. Obviously I dont know exactly but I would guess a vet visit for something like this will be 50 dollars for the appointment and that might be it! If the vet flushes him some how or gives meds then maybe add 30-60 dollars on top of that if I had to guess. Just in case I would check his belly for injuries. I would hold him and let him slither from my hands into his enclosure while I inspected down along his spine for any kinks or visual injuries. If you are not taking him to the vet I would ensure (of all times to do this now would be the best)he has 2 great hides, exactly proper temps and humidity where he can be on the hot or cold side in a hide. He will need to relax. I would also make sure that his water bowl is filled 3/4 high roughly at all times with fresh water. Try to maintain your feeding schedule and update us on when he eats. I would probably wait 2 days from now and offer him food to hopefully help flush out the nasty until then do a quick inspection and then leave him alone. I'm sorry this happened but now you'll just have to wait it out and see or take him to the vets. I hope that after he relaxes and gets some fluids in him and maybe some food that he will recover!
