How much was he eating, and how much is he eating now? Is he down for moult? Is his keel sharp? What's his hunting weight? What's his weight now?If honest with you mate, it's a bit difficult for anybody to answer your question on the Internet without seeing the bird and knowing the birds history, if your worried about his health, then a good vet is your best option.

AS above mate. If in doubt seek out someone who knows about them.

A good avian vet is what you are after as normal cat and dog vets don't really know a lot about hawks.

Or better still get someone who is experienced with BOPs.

All the best
