RE: Force feeding...

It's important to remind everyone that forcefeeding in this fashion is an invasive proceedure that should not be undertaken by amateurs who have no experience! It's VERY easy to do more harm than good and it's better to have a vet do it and demonstrate proper technique.
Giving advice on veterinary care via the internet is not a good idea: nor is accepting such advice.
If your turtle is sick and you don't know what to do, take it to a vet!
