How long have you had it? Did you get it this sick? Sometimes their to far gone.If it wasnt your fault it got this sick,its SOMETIMES better to start over with a new healthy tortoise than to spend a lot of money for low odds of recovery.Ive noticed tortoises that are treated at near death,sometimes live short and week lifetimes.I'm starting to see what I call antibiodic zombism in some tortoises.For a tortoise if they die even in twenty years not to mention four or five,we have failed.Most are very long lived.Its a HARD choice,I just dont want to see you spend more bucks and be dissapointed.On the other hand you have to live with yourself,and i've seen my Vet pull off some voo-doo on a near death bad looking tortoise.A feeding tube in the neck sounds like your only chance.Good Luck,let us know Vic
