I just took my two beardies to a vet for a blood test. After having their blood taken they both have sunken eyes, one of them more than the other.
Is it normal or should I be worried?

Also I'm not sure if beardie ER is the right place to post this, if it's not I'll delete.

A blood test can dehydrate them, you can always soak them in a pedialyte bath (50% unflavored pedialyte, 50% water). Mari came to me in the mail with severely sunken eyes and the pedialyte fixed it in 5 days.

Hello,

Hm, that doesn't sound real normal. Definitely post some pictures of them, so we can see
exactly how sunken in the eyes are.
I would highly recommend some extra oral fluids for a few days, to help with hydration. I
hope that the vet didn't draw too much for the sample though.
Otherwise, are they both eating well & acting normally?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
