I would be3 worried, yes, given the recent warm weather.

Make up some rehydration solution, and give one teaspoon every minute

this may help - hope it's not too 'strong', I haven't read the whole article. Hope she is better soon

Press the skin, then release, if the colour comes back instantly then she is not dehydrated, also, if she still has a soft spot on her head and it is sunken, this is a clear sign of quite advanced dehydration, meaning time to see the gp. hope she recovers soon.

Is she still peeing?

Is dd ok?

thanks for all your advice guys, her nappy is bone dry and she is still very listless so am taking her to the drs this afternoon, just feel as though I am always at the GP and he will think I am a hypocondriact! Buy hey I would rather be safe than sorry especially as it so hot.
Thanks again for all your help xx
