Worried about my Russian Tortoise

[Jeffweystan]

I went to give him a bath today and noticed that his back legs looked like this. His skin also looks slightly discolored and I’m really worried about him. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I plan to take him to the vet on Monday but I don’t know if this could be something more serious that he should go today.

What does the other leg look like? The nail look very long . Has it lost weight recently? Do you weigh regularly?

@Jeffweystan
I'm not sure what you mean. Please explain. Are you talking about the puffy area at the top of the leg where it meets the shell?
