Hey,
Medical treatment is sound advice for the condition you describe. Other than increasing the heat to the cage, or tub, there is nothing that can be done. Don't provide a temperature gradient for at least one to two weeks. Keep the temps up and watch for signs of distress from the heat. Provide plenty of fresh water and a clean substrate, like newspapar. Humidity can be kept between 50-60% safely. Good luck.
