I recently acquired a 10 month old Leopard Tortoise Stygmochelis/Geochelone Pardalis Babcocki. One night I noticed a bubble coming out of its one nostril. It's not often though. It happens sometimes and it sleeps a lot, doesn't move much, and doesn't eat much (at all). Which confirms that it's sick. What can I do with it?

How often should I soak it considering it is sick.

And before someone says get it to a vet, we don't have a qualified one in the area. I wouldn't be posting asking for advice if we have one.
