Maybe you can hold him upright and guide him for a swim. Might do him well to have the water flowing by his gills(if they have them
, dont know ne thing about sea horses)
Their gills are enclosed. The area of skin enclosing the gills is called the operculum. They is more or less what one might refer to as the seahorse's "cheeks"; the part that inflates and deflates with breathing, with a single hole at the top of each.
With enclosed gills, I don't know that moving him through the water is going to do a heck of a lot more than what he is doing himself by huffing and puffing. If he were to stop breathing, I suppose the best method of artificial respiration (for revival purposes only; say, in a case of not awaking after anesthetic), would be to "blow" water at/into his snout via a syringe or eyedropper type device.
