Sounds to me like there is a high ammonia level in your QT tank. John

Okay, now as a last attempt to save him, I started to drip acclimate him to my display tank...do you think it is too late? Or is that something they can pull through from????? Should I put him down?

He may pull threw, It depends on how badly his gills were damaged. ( If it was an ammonia issue ) Did you check your QT tank Ammonia level?
