Dehydration

[Dagreek]

One of my very young babies has his eyes sunken in quite a bit. With plenty of water will the eyes go back to normal?

It is important to maintain hydration

Hydration is a key component surrounding sunken eyes, I would try using a pippet to administer water a few drips at a time on his nose.

And monitor, make sure he is also eating and being supplemented.

Assuming it is hydration then yes his eyes should return to normal.

Sunken eyes can a,so be a sign of illness.
Does it drink at all?

I got him in the sink with a small bottle underneath the water spraying it everywhere and hes starting to drink again. Could it also have to do with a a too powerful lighting?

What are your temps and what type of lighting do you have?

He's gotten a bit better. His eyes opened up a bit but now their sealed shut. He can't see any recommendations?

I also don't think he's been eating. And with his eyes shut he can't find crickets.
