Hey there,
Recently I’ve noticed that my just over 3 year old boy’s fat pads seem a little sunken in. His eyes may look a little sunken too but I’m really not sure, I had trouble finding good reference photos to compare them to. I know fat pads can indicate malnourishment which would really surprise me — he gets salads every day and likes to eat super worms and hornworms. I haven’t seen any decrease in appetite or activity. I know dehydration can also be an issue and I have been giving him water in a dropper.
Can anyone take a look at my photos of him and give me a second opinion? Is he looking under nourished or under hydrated, and if so what can I do for him?
I’ve posted here a handful of times before and am confident in his setup, but can answer any questions if need be.
Also yes that is a hammer he’s sitting on... I don’t know why but he literally loves it haha
