Question
My sister has a mouse named daisy and she has redness around her eyes that is making her eyes close. we aren't sure what we shoukd do, go see a vet or jusst wait it out.

Answer
Dear Danielle,

Bring Daisy to the vet.  Mice get sicker fast, and you can't know if this is an infection or an illness.

Find a vet who specializes in "pocket pets" or "exotics." If you find more than one, ask how many mice they see a month.  Cat and mouse vets just don't have the training and experience to diagnose and treat mouse issues.

Best of luck and health to Daisy.
