How to cure my sick sulcata

Question
QUESTION: I found my sulcata covered in pee this morning.  He pooped and pee several times and he is making a funny noise, stretching his neck and front legs.  He was foaming from his nose and mouth. He spent the day yesterday in my patio in the sun and probably eating all kind of stuff in my garden. I only feed him lettuce and some flowers.  I just got it and I'm learning what to feed him.  He is a bout 3 years old and until this morning he was very active.  I gave him a warm bath and I covered him with a blanket keeping him warm.  He stop making noises but his eyes are close and deep and he is not moving much.  Please help me with a suggestion on how to cure my Rocky.  Thanks a lot.

ANSWER: It sounds like hes been poisoned- and probably should be seen by a vet ASAP.

You can try for second opinions at http://www.tortoiseforum.org but I would not wait too long.

QUESTION: My Rocky looks much better today.  You are right I think he ate something that caused him a stomach problem.  His foaming in this nose and mouth only lasted a couple of seconds while he was pushing.  I noticed he was out of air and while he was stretching his neck and front legs, he was trying to release every ounce of urine and poop out of his body. He looks more restfull this morning in his normal sleeping position.  Do you recommend a warm bath like I did yesterday? while he recovers and gain appetite? Thanks a lot.

Answer
Here is where a medical expert would be really handy. Since I don't know what it ate, I have no idea what the residual effects might be- is everything OK now or is it still in trouble even if it looks better?

Generally, warm soaks help with hydration issues, but they stress out some tortoises who struggle to get out of the water. If Rocky tolerates it well, I'd soak him and if he struggles, I'd skip it. I'd also make sure his warm area in his pen is a bit warmer, which helps recovery and strengthens the immune system. (FYI- blankets by themselves do not help cold blooded animals since they do not generate their own heat.)

Poisoning episodes like this make me nervous. I'd see a vet or ask at the forum listed yesterday to see if anyone there has any insights.
