Thanks everyone! By "greens" I meant wild weeds not cabbage. He is chomping away quite well. I have stopped Baytril, continued Abidec soak once a day, with normal soaks twice more a day. He is having his weeds chopped small but is now also able to bite off pieces of thin dandelion and lettuce by himself! He has UV basking lights all day into late night, then lights off and blanket over to keep in warmth (he is in my lounge which is warm). He is now walking better although still dragging a bit. Takes himself in and out of water tray, and is interested and alert. He still takes occasional mouth breaths but less than before. He has a pinch of calci-dust every other day on his food, and an occasional pinch of critical care formula in his water. He currently weighs 60.5g. Fingers crossed he might've turned the corner.....! Thanks for your help, everyone!

Thats great news can I ask please, is calcidust the only supplement you use? If so I would add in something with D3 (nutrobalmor Nekton MSA) he needs vitamins not just calcium ( obviously the abidec will help with this too but I would also give on his food xx
