Did you raise him from a hatchling ? May be older than 20 if not. Any blood work done ?
You can also get some unflavored Pedialyte and mix it 50/50 in some warm water then soak him in it. Do this in a separate container and only have the level a little above his shell since so weak. This way he only has to raise his head to breath. Do this for a hour couple times a day. He hopefully will drink some and get nutrition in. The antibiotic's will curb his appetite too so the soaks will help . Hopefully he will drink a lot !
If you still have the other two smaller turtles I would seperate them as a precaution !
