Duck spinning in circles and can't straighten neck

Time for an update, and it's good news! On the outside he seems to be 100% aside from the fact that he has lost so many feathers that he has penguin wings, those little things look like I could have them with some buffalo sauce. They are starting to grow back, thankfully.
I still do not have any real hard evidence what worked, but we have an appointment Tuesday and I should learn more then and possibly may get a few tests done to help narrow it down if it is not clear.
His x rays showed no metal bits in his stomach, though it showed a strange thing near his vent that looked like a necklace from above and a balloon from the side. They will get a second opinion because the are not sure why they are looking at, but fingers crossed it isn't something major.
We are waiting on a lead and zinc test, CBC complete blood count, and a complete chemical panel.

Since my first post (he had been to the vet) he was on the following meds, dosages given for his weight-1.1 kg
Clavamox 1.6mL 2x a day for 20 days, it is an antibiotic/antifungal, broad spectrum
Metacam .8mL 1x a day for 10 days, it is an anti inflammatory/steroid.
Also, upon consulting with the wry neck solution suggested by the boards she gave him a B complex Vitamin injection. He pooped radical yellow for several days.
I had given him Vitamin E and Selenium the first night but did not continue, worrying about mega dosing him unnecessarily.
That is all the info so far, will update with the results of the test! I feel so fortunate to be able to have the $ to get these tests done, hopefully the results will be helpful to others in the future.
I have a duck doing the same thing. Did you ever find out what it was or what is was that helped?
