Give yourself a pat on the back for getting the appetite going.
The first thing that comes to mind is providing a steady warm temperature, even if you need to create a controlled environment.
When my turtle was very ill the one thing my vet insisted upon was never letting the temp drop below 80 - not even temporarily.
For a larger turtle I would try diluted Betadine soaks for the shell, and but I don't know if that is appropriate for little guys and gals. I don't have any experience with them. I wish I had more info to offer.
