Exclamation My monitor is not good... Please help!

Hey guys, i have a recent W/C blackthroat monitor and it is not doing good!!! I thought everything was getting better, he was eating 5 crickets a day, but sleeping ALL the time... Well today when i got home from work his tail seems to be a triangle and there is basically no fat at the base... I took him out and soaked him in shoulder high water and he drank, it must have been for 2 minutes straight and his body expanded, so maybe this i caused from dehydration.. now there was some pee in the soil or what i think is pee, so i am assuming he pee'd and it dehydrated his tail. Could this be possible?? I want to do any and everything i can for him, i am waiting for him to poop so i can take it to the vets... He didnt eat for me today, and when i pick him up he shows no interest in fleeing away from me.... *sigh* guys any and all help would be great...

Setup...

7" of dirt
130 Basking
92 Favorite spot
79 cool end
82 ambient air temp.

Hides, water bowl.

Thanks guys, i dont want to lose him!!!
