I am reading all the threads about sick Jacks...based on info in another thread, you could try doing a warm shower...do not spray the water directly at him bounce it off the wall onto his plant. Think "mimicking rain". See if that gets him drinking? I hope others will respond...
 
try getting him outside for natural sunlight, and a shower can help also..

leave him in the hsower for 20+ minutes, it can sometimes take a while to stimulate them into drinking,
