In my experience dealing with similar situation with adult or hatchling, it can generally be solved at home however keep in mind that I have not examine the animal personally and do not know if it is in fact the same issue.
Usually when you have this type of issue what causes the blockage is a large harden piece of urate, now what I do is massage and push it out, obviously it is a lot easier with an hatchling than an adult but it has it’s risk as if done too roughly or fast you could end up with a prolapsed or a tear if the piece of urate is really large.
So the bottom line is that you have to know what you are doing, and realize that yes there are risks, however I have ever experienced a prolapsed doing this but I know other have.
A vet would likely do an X-Ray and follow with an enema if it turns out to be what I believe it is.
