I THINK MY MOUSE IS DIEING!!!!!

Question
My mouse Ethel may be dieing. She won't eat or drink and her fur is weird but it feels fine. She just sits in one spot breathing really hard and she lets me pet her. when I used to try to pet her she would bite me or run away.

PS: She has a little yellow bump on her tail.

Answer
The yellow spot may be an abscess. The only way to save your mouse, if she has not already died, is to go to a veterinarian.

You can get Rescue Remedy from the Health Food store if she is still alive. It decreases stress, so may have her not bite you. Rub one drop on her fur.

If she has died, I am sure you took great care of her and loved her a lot and she lives on, in a way, because you are a different person for having loved her.
