Answer
Dear Sarah,

If you can get him to a vet, that's his best bet.  Other than that, keep him warm if you can. When mice are sick they often get cold and it can be the cold that kills them.  Sometimes just keeping a mouse warm is enough to help it to fight off an illness.  Other times nothing will help. It's really not a good sign when a mouse is cold, but I have saved mouse lives by holding them in my hand and pocket all night long.

I hope your mouse is OK.
