Kathy.
I would just keep him comfortable and warm and see what he vet says.
One soak daily should be enough to keep him hydrated.Put him on a routine, warm up in the morning, soak, food.
Don't allow him to get cold, or overheat.If he's too weak to move away from direct heat, make sure
that the enclosure is nice and cozy, so he doesn't chill at all.

I know it's hard waiting for the time to pass till his appointment. But hopefully the vet will set him on the road to recovery.

I'm not sure about the sand, I've never used it, but wouldn't thnk it's the best substrate for a baby sulcata.
Maybe Niki or others with more experience on indoor housing can offer more advise on a subtrate to use.

Let us know how it goes.
Terry.
