Poker regurged, ate, and then regurged again over a period of a month so I got worried.
I took him to the vet where they found he had a blockage- they sent me two hours up to Columbus where they kept him overnight and did a surgery to remove it. It turned out to be a mass of bone that didn't digest. The surgery was a success, but he became lethargic and died a few hours later.
He was four months old and 6 grams.
Here is one of his last pics:

Here are his x-rays:

The top one is his dorsal-ventral ray. The bottom is his left side- you can see the white mass that is the blockage. The farthest lump to the left is his heart and the empty space is his lungs. On the farthest right, you can see white speckles which is stored fecal material, haha. The vets loved him and said he was the best corn they had ever worked with.
I don't know if this post is allowed here, but maybe it could help someone out, especially if they have similar issues.
RIP Poker, my little noodle baby~
