I would still take him to the vets because not treating him is just going to prolong his suffering at this point. I can understand your not wanting to put him down, but antibiotics would be the right thing to do. If you go and they say it's too late, then you know you have done everything you can.

Also, I am not sure you are aware of this, but turtles eat in the water, not on land. If he can't swim at this point, that is a huge problem where eating is concerned.

Anyways, good luck with everything. AND TAKE THE FELLA TO THE VET!
