Hello,
She does not seem to be dehydrated at present. These are the salient points which will indicate severe dehydration
- Persistent lethargy, not playing.
- Showing restless, agitated behavior.
- Low urine output.
- Loss of skin elasticity.
- Sunken eyeballs.
- The altered sensorium in very advanced stages.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
