HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Tmii! I think you need to have a Vet come to you or take him to one as soon as possible. Tmii looks critically ill and needs aggressive supportive care. I do not think any at home care will pull him through this unfortunately. Can you call the Vet again and see if he/she can recommend someone to examine Tmii? All you can do is keep him warm, syringe water and canned food slurries gently and give the recommended medications. I wish you and Tmii the best!
