Hi all,
One of my boys has started a new parasite treatment two days ago and today I noticed that he had more pronounced dark circles under his eyes.

Has anyone else experienced this? I also wonder if this could be a sign of low ferritin (sp?).

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Dehydration and also infection can be 2 of the causes. Is he drinking enough water? If it started after tx with antiparasitics, it could be from the infection.
