I had a yb with similar symptoms, then a baby map's. I put them in smaller bowls with the same temps as their aquarium in order to have them face to face with their food. Pellets, unfortunately, float, so they're harder to get them to eat.

Try small, chopped up worms. Drop a little raw beef in there, fish, or cooked chicken.

As for the pellets, crush them up a little, make sure they're soft.

If it has a cold, dry dock it for hours at a time, with a sunlamp on it. But don't overheat it.

Keep the water temps quite high. Make sure it can sun itself, too.

You'll be surprised. I had a hatchling res with legs about the size of toothpicks. It floated, blew bubbles out its nose, and didn't eat for weeks.

It came around, however, and was briskly swimming and eating voraciously soon thereafter.
