I'm sorry to hear about your tortoise, and his condition sounds to be very serious. Until you get him to a vet, make sure that the temp is not too high or too low, the conditions are not too humid and check him for bubbles around the nostrils. Also take notes on any abnormal breathing... weezing etc..
What has he been eating, has he had regular bowel movements, and does he have UV lighting. Has he been drinking water. Have you added a lot of vitamins to his food. Too much can be toxic in small tortoises and reptiles.
Depending on where you live, I found a highly recommend vet named Dr. Greek in the greater Los Angeles area. From what others say he has much experience. I have an appt. to take my tortoise in next week. The initial vist is $54, and the medications and other things will cost what they cost.
Hope this helps, and good luck with him!
