if u can help me find out whats wrong with him i will be so thankful

Answer
Dear Andrew,

He has to go to the vet immediately. Mice are so delicate that anything like this could weaken and kill him.

You need an exotics vet if possible. Cat and dog vets really don't know rodents.

Before he gets to the vet you can give him a very small drop of children's liquid Tylenol or ibuprofen to ease the pain.

Please get him to the vet as an emergency.

I wish him a speedy recovery, poor little guy.
