You need to weigh daily. If one can't open it's eyes it's still very sick.

Yes, but other than weighting them, is there anything else I should be doing? I have done dewormer, electrolytes, vitamins, VetRx, Nutri-drench, oatmeal, and fresh herbs, along with a heat lamp. And tonight I'm going to attempt giving them scrambled eggs for protein.

VetRx is like Vick's Vapor Rub, so it did nothing for them.

Eggs are actually pretty low in protein (12% I think)... if you want to give protein, get them some turkey/game bird crumbles, of something like Purina Flock Raiser.

For the ones that are still sick, you probably need a proper antibiotic.

I don't remember which dewormer it was. Dogs got to the bottle so I had to throw it away. I gave it last week and the directions said only one dose and the. Repeat in 4-6 weeks.

I gave VetRx because they swollen, watery eyes and a runny nose. The nose part cleared up but the eyes are still bad. I figured it couldn't hurt to try.

What antibiotic do you think would be best? I didn't have the money to take them anywhere which is why I first started with VetRx and dewormer.

No, put right in their mouth with a syringe. I think you could have put it in the water but they weren't drinking the water either and kept knocking it over. It said for faster result to put it directly in their mouth.
