I think my tortoise is dead, when I first brought him home in March he was very active, crawling and climbing and eating a lot, but in May he began sleeping a lot and had his eyes constantly closed, and his shell began to soften. In reply I began to give him more calcium supplements. In June he refused to eat anything, even his favourite red lettuce. Yesterday he began moving around more after his bath but this morning I found him in the same place he had been last night, not moving or reacting. I think he may be dead. When I pressed on his shell a watery substance came bubbling out of his right nostril. I don't know what to do, can someone tell me how he died(if he is dead) and what to do next?
He is a Hermanns, just under 1 year old, I have been giving him water and food almost every day and calcium supplements often as well. His diet was mostly dandelion leaves and red lettuce occasionally.
