Hey guys I am new on here! I need help as all vets offices are closed I don’t know what to do. I have a Russian tortoise and I’ve had him for over 20 years. His diet mainly consists of greens I make sure he gets enough calcium. Yesterday I fed him a chunk of watermelon and he is really puffy around his legs and neck. Do you think he had too much and it’s water retention? Or is it sugar related?? Please help he is my baby!!

It's probably just water retention. How does he seem otherwise?

His behavior otherwise is normal he’s walking around he went to the bathroom twice and Peed twice and generally seems pretty happy like he usually is I was able to get him into an emergency vet near where I live I will keep you posted thank you!!
