UPDATE: Ripley has started eating again, went back to vet today for re-check after about a week and a half of meds and since some of the swelling has gone done he was able to examine the area more closely, they were able to dislodge a sperm plug from the hemipene that was swollen on one side...

Yeah, I’m trying not to hover, but I’m worried about him. Thanks for the boost!
