How did my mouse die?

Question

my new mouse just died today and i have no idea how. she started to fall when she walked and then couldn't walk and she had really bad diahhrea. what happened to her? and do you think my other mouse might get sick to?

Answer 1

I would definitely take your other mouse into the vet to be safe. You never know if the illness was contagious and I don't think you'd want to risk your mouse's life!  

Answer 2

Get a product called DriTail which treats and prevents "WetTail."  This product is good for all rodents, (not rabbits) for stopping and preventing it.  Drop the medicine in your rats water and make sure it drinks it.  Also, make sure you rat has a healthy environment,  you might want to clean your current rats cage aswell just in case.

Answer 3

sound like wet tail to me sos foryour loss

Answer 4

hmm...maybe wet tail. she sounded very sick, and if it is wet tail or something else contagious, then there is a possibility your other mouse could get sick too. I would clean their cage right now and disinfect it.
