Two of my Victorians have gotten really skinny (belly has shrunken in)... they attempt to eat only to spit the food back out. I remember someone here talking about this being a possible parasite problem. Has anyone had this occur? Any solution/medication/suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

I don't own Vics, but I would say that you have an internal parasite of some nature.

I have heard of a mouth issue with vics, see if they have a whitish lump in their mouth, if they do QT them immediately! There may not be much hope for the infected but you can save your other stock.
