Hi-
I purchased a (6-month old) baby leopard tortoise in January of this year, and he was doing great during the first few months. But recently my family and I went on vacation for a week, and left him at a friend's house. Apparently he wasn't given the proper care that was needed and the change caused his health to quickly go downhill. He won't eat ANYTHING. I feed him clover and all sorts of weeds that I find outside. My mom and I took him to the vet last Monday and she watched him all day. She told us he wasn't sick, but gave him some energy/vitamin injections. She gave us a bag of "Critical Care" food that we have been having to syringe feed him. We've done all that we can possibly do. His basking spot is in the upper 90's, so it's not too hot. I've been taking him outside as much as possible, but he keeps falling asleep. I don't know what to do. Please help. I really don't want to lose him.

Thank you-
Kate
