My rescued wild turtle won't eat. How can I help it start eating?

Question

I found an indian flapshell on roadside, may be around 10-12 yrs old, i took him home, but he has not eaten anything since 10 days, its quite hot climate, what to do? I cant release him in ponds or lake as ponds have no water due to least rainfall.. please suggest me how he will eat. Ihave tried everything. Pet's info: Reptile | Turtle | Male | 6 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Vaasu. Is there a local wildlife rehabilitation group or a veterinary hospital in the area to which this animal can be relinquished, as the reason it is not eating could be medical or the stress of not being out in the wild. Good luck.
