This looks like a mule ear cattleya type. Itās SEVERELY dehydrated- the pseudobulbs are substantially wrinkled. Cattleyas are notorious for having extremely sensitive roots. They tend to completely die off when you repot if you bruise or damage them at all. Thatās why itās essential to repot at the right time- when fresh new roots are sprouting to take over and support the plant. Soā¦ tips for saving this orchid, if possibleā¦ Iād put it gently on a bed of sphagnum, and keep it fairly moist. Keep an eye out for new roots, they usually come from the newest pseudobulb. If it starts to grow a whole new pseudobulb, that one would grow the new roots- but the plant may run out of stored energy before it matures enough to grow roots. Itās pretty far gone. Iād be very interested to see how it goes for you.

Wolfen šŗThis looks like it is just dormant. Which would be why it also looks dehydrated. I would pot it up and SLOWLY increase heat and water. So as not to overwhelm it and overwater it waking it up.
