enlarged vein in mouth...

So my old adult male normal corn spit out his food after getting it halfway down for the 2nd time in two weeks.

He'd get it halfway down, then twitch, and spit it out, then lay there and not move much.

I opened his mouth and found an enlarged vein on the left side. Its VERY swollen and purple. To double-check that this wasn't a normal vein, I looked at my other adult male corn's mouth and the vein was not enlarged.

No mouthrot, or any other abnormalties. What could cause this? Could this be why he keeps spitting out his food and acting lethargic?

He is going in to the vet ASAP next week.

thanks,
Cat
