 Sick California Desert Tortoise

My tortoise is foaming from the mouth and nose and makes a weird noise. I was watching him then out of his rear secreted a tannish color ooze. I know it wasn’t semen because it was not white. His eyes are all puffy and he is lethargic (doesn’t move a lot). He is about one foot in diameter and approximately 12 years old. He just started these symptoms today (the 19th of May). Please write back asap with any information. Thank you.
