My Russian tortoise has been very lethargic for the past two weeks. He has gradually been eating less and now refuses to eat, he appears to be extremely thin and has lost most of the scales on his back legs. I have been trying to keep him warm and hydrated with appealing calcium rich foods available for the last hour after I became concerned. One of his eyes appears to have some sort of film over it. I plan on taking him to the vet as soon as possible. What should I do until then?
