Mylo has being to the vets today, they have x rayed him and can't find anything. He's staying in for the night with pain relief and antibiotics, and to see a different vet tomorrow. He has a mate and a beautiful pond to themselves, so no injury or longing for a mate. He's weak though, still trying to eat and drink though the vet said his crop was small there was some food in there. I was worried as there seems to be slot of wasted food in the water bowl, like he's trying to eat but not managing to swallow. My gut feeling was he had an obstruction but this has been ruled out, I'm none the wiser today; fingers crossed for tomorrow
