Hi my tortoise shelldon is sick and the veterinary costs are adding up quickly and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help out or share the link thanks.
Sorry, you asking for money and posting a go fund me is against the rules

Post pics of enclosure and the health problems you are having with your tortoise and we may be able to help you fix things.
Also give all care info, include everything.

he is very lethargic and his legs are swelling up. He is at the vte now and they are doing bloodwork and xrays. My suspicions is it has something to do with his kidneys but the vet said it could be something with his heart. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have suggested questions I should ask the vet?

What kind of tortoise and how old?
If you give us the answers to the things I asked for, we can see if there are any clues there as to what is going on.

I hope you have a vet that knows what they're doing.
Especially since you've provided us no Information to help you
