A common, practical formula is to multiply the mm of eye recession by 1.6 - 2 to estimate the percentage of dehydration. For example, this calf has a recession of ~5mm suggesting roughly 10% dehydration which puts her into the severely dehydrated range.

Reindeer (Caribou) are the only species of deer in which females routinely possess antlers. Males shed their antlers in the fall after rut, and females shed their antlers in the spring. This means that Rudolph was a castrated male, and that all of Santa's reindeer, are actually females or castrated males. Caribou are the only species of deer that can be castrated without having life threatening abnormalities to antler growth due to the hormone differences in hardening and shedding of their antlers.
