Increase his heat a bit. Make sure it is at the upper end of the preferred temperature range for the species. That will give his immune system a boost. You had asked about redfoots earlier, if this is a redfoot, also make sure his humidity is correct. Redfoots kept too dry will often "whistle" when they breathe.

Try to put him in a warm place over the weekend and make a tablet of vitamin C dissolve in a quarter-filled cup and them pour that water (after the dissolving of the tablet COMPLETELY) on the food that you will give to your tortoise, then show it to a vet, dont panic it will be just fine

he probably has respitory problams which i am pretty sure can be fatal. take him to a reptile vet asap
