I think you may have over watered it. If that is the case it probably will not make it, sorry. I would not feed it either we have never fed ours and we have about 30 trees(my hubby just can;t throw those seeds away!). Let it dry out a little between watering, then water completely till it runs out the bottom, but do not let it sit in water.
I usually cut mine back at about a foot high down to 6" or so. Avocados do not like to be repotted, that is why they suggest to first pot it in a fairly large pot. Remember It is really easy to start a new one if yours does not make it and fairly inexpensive. Think guacamole, yum. Just google starting avocado trees and you will get lots of help.
I also live in Michigan and have been growing an avocado tree inside in winter and outside in summer. My leaves are browning and falling...I know this is apart of the process now so I wont worry too much! BUT I am nervous to cut my tree back although I know it needs it-my tree is 2-3 feet tall and he a bend in it DO I Cut it back by half even if its inside? Thank you!!!!
Do not stress the leaves will fall off and in a few weeks the new shoots will appear. Water well once a week and as long as the main stem stays green it will recover.
