Urgent Care :: HELP!! how Do I feed my sick turtle?

[TeamBule]

My Turtles name is Adebule, he is about 2 years old and is a Red-Eared Slider.
I took him to the vet 5 days ago because he had been sneezing and was lethargic. He gave me a prescription to give to him twice a day orally for 10 days. But he hasn't been eating since 2 days before I took him to the Vet. I don't want him to starve to death and i've tried several different foods to get him to eat and it'ls just not happening. How can I get him to eat something?

What was he eating before? What have you tried recently? What are the water temperatures?

Here are some ideas, will you be able to try any? http://www.redearslider.com/entice_eating.html

the half pedialyte and half water solution worked for me when my turt was sick. also fed him cichlid sticks that time. when I give him pellets I would coat it with a drop of polyvisol. Giving him regular vitamins seemed to work for me. My turt's been through RI and recently ear abscess.
