Unhappy

All of the sudden 3 of my mouse boys seem sick!!


I woke up this morning and checked on my mice like always.. and one will not move.. hes huddled against the side of the cage with his eyes closed breathing very shallow.. the other 2 seem to have a hunch back and their eyes are slightly closed but they are running on the wheel and eating and drinking unlike the other one.. Does anyone know what this could be? Their cages are always clean and they always have food, water and attention.. the 2 that are still walking around and eating are 7 months old and 5 months old so they arent to old I don't think..The other one I have no clue as to how old he is because i bought him full grown at the pet store about 3 weeks ago.. I'm dumbfounded.. any help would be greatly appreciated..
Tia,
Jamie

Well the one boy just died.. This is really strange cause they were all running around lastnight and there were no signs of sickness.. hmmmmm.. now the other 2 are drinking water NON STOP!!.. the one white boy has been drinking now for about 5 min with just a 1 second break here and there.. I'm afraid they are all going to die before I can get them to the vet tonight...

I have no idea, but I know that ratties and mice have very quick systems, so act fast! I once had a rattie die within one day of bringing him home. Usually, they don't like to show signs of weakness out of instinct, so you can never be too safe. Get those babes to a vet! -Raeanne
