Found Injured Mouse - Paw Talk

Belthasar · #1 04-26-2008, 12:52 PM

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with this mouse? I found him hobbling around on my floor. He lets me hold him and doesn't try to bite. I think that one or more of his paws might be broken.

I recorded this video why feeding him last night. I really would like to know if I need to take him to the vet or if he will get better in a few weeks.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

he needs to see a vet asap, looks like he might have been stepped on (i don't mean you)

Thanks for your reply. I am now thinking that one of my neighbors left out some poison, I live in an apartment building. When I got home from work today the mose was almost perfect. It was really refreshing to see him running arround the cage.

wow he does look much better! i'm so glad! but if it's wild then you probably shouldn't keep him

i know. but he could carry disease your pets are susceptible to. maybe release him a few miles from your place? I don't know, maybe someone else here has ideas...

Thanks for the reply. I don't have anyother pets but I do understand letting him go.

Thanks!
