do mice sneeze?

Question
I was told that mice don't sneeze. Is it true? Do they cough?

Thanks!

Answer
Hi,
thank you for your question.
Mice do sneeze, especially when they suffer from a respiratory infection. They cannot cough or throw up, though, which is why it's not such a good idea to give them medication directly into their mouth. They can also have hiccoughs.
I hope I was of some help to you
