: : have you had him checked for protozoan parasites? the deworming won't take care of them....or maybe a bacterial infection?

these are microscopic parasites that are even smaller than worms, the vet tests for them by looking at a fecal sample, they can be treated with a medicine called Flagyl that is given orally like Panacur

Russian tortoises are also very susceptible to respiratory infections
