is my mouse sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

Question
I have had my mouse cheesers for about 7months now i don't know if I'm just being protective of my mouse or if there's something wrong with her her symptoms are mild sneezing about 4-5 times in a time period of about 30 minutes to an hour but my main worries are that her breathing looks almost like a fast pulse and that she shakes a little but her breathing is not noisy and she does sleep a little bit longer than she used to but when she wakes up she eats drinks and runs in her wheel and exercises just like normal please respond back quickly that way if there's a problem i can get it handled before it spirals out of control and i lose my buddie

Answer
Dear Cole,

Get her a vet appointment. She probably has a mild respiratory infection, but they can turn deadly very fast. The vet may give you Baytril, or Baytril and amoxicillin, depending on how sick she seems. Even though she will seem well after a few days, continue the medication for the entire 10-14 days.

If you are not going to be able to  get to a vet, write back right away and I will help you out; but the vet is always the best way to go.

Best of luck and health to little Cheesers.

Squeaks,

Natasha
