Question
So my mouse started sneezing the second time I started cleaning his car
so I changed the bedding to care fresh 4 hours ago and he's still sneezing
so I'm wondering will it subside also I have a fan in my room so could that
be causing him to sneeze if so what should I do to keep him warm and If
o find a solution for that will he be ok :(

Answer
Dear Stef,
thank you for your question.
Please see a rodent vet with your mouse as soon as possible. Mice are very prone to respiratory infections and those must be treated by a vet, probably with antibiotics. They can turn into a chronic disease otherwise and/or may kill the mouse.
It's also possible that he's allergic to the bedding, but I think that an infection is more likely. In any case, only a vet can tell you for sure. You can find good rodent vets on these websites:
