I wouldn't play doctor with the little guy. I'd take him to the vet as soon as possible. Mine started out with a slight runny nose, then he/she didn't eat for 3 weeks. It lost lots of weight. I took it to the vet on saturday and they gave it shots and gave me medicine to treat it with 2 times a day. Vet told me that there was nothing I could do at home and that the problem would have gotten worse. If you're anywhere near the Bay Area, Calfornia I recommend this guy:

Ken Harkewicz, VMD
Berkeley Dog & Cat Hospital
2126 Haste Street
Berkeley, CA 94704
510-848-5041
Harkherp@aol.com

he's an exotic reptile vet and he has 18 tortoises of his own including 2 large sulcatas.
