Sick mouse?

21 15:45:51

Question
My pet male fancy mouse has a pinkish eye and bright green droppings. Is he seriously ill?

Answer
It sounds like he is sick and may have an eye infection. If the green droppings are soft and if you are feeding a lot of veggies you may want to cut down on them. If the green poo is soft, I would certainly call a vet about the rat because it really does sound like an eye infection and a minor digestive upset.
