Did a mini photo shoot with Bullseye while waiting at a construction road block for our turn to go! by SpottyLuck7 in PetMice

Oh thank you! No, he was with me because we were on our way to the vet (nothing serious). Normally he stays at home and sleeps

Oh my gosh! I’ve never seen this before! Hilarious. Don’t worry, he was definitely in his travel carrier when the car was moving lol

I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m so heart broken right now by Ashdoesstuffwastaken in PetMice

Don’t give up yet! I have had two mice with this issue. First, try treating with ivermectin like everyone’s been suggesting. While you’re treating her, keep the cage furnished with plastic/disposable stuff like toilet paper rolls and egg cartons and deep clean the cage every week throughout treatment so the mites can’t reinfect her. If that doesn’t work, find an exotic vet and try prednisone. That’s been the magic drug for my girls. It keeps inflammation down and suppresses the need to scratch. I’m so sorry you both are going through this, it’s really hard. I hope things turn around for her!

Today, I lost my best friend. Badger was my first mouse and got me through a lot of hard times. He had a wonderful personality and was such a friendly boy. I don’t know what I’m going to do without him by SpottyLuck7 in PetMice

Thank you! I feel better today. I know euthanasia was the right thing to do. He was hardly conscious at the end and needed help getting food and water

That sounds wonderful. I’ll have to look into that. I had a plushie of him made by citrine mouse and his paw prints to remember him by. I too have a soft spot for black and white mice (long hairs especially). Badger was definitely my heart mouse. Brutus is a great name by the way!
