My pet mouse has this problem...

Question

She seems to be having a bit of diarrhea at the moment. Her diet is store-bought mouse food, occasionally some oats, sometimes some bread and every now and then, carrots. Lately she's only had the muose food and I've just put some vitamin drops in her water. Could the bread have upset her stomach? If not the bread, what could be wrong with her?

Answer 1

Anything.

Really, you need to get her to a vet.

Yes, it could be a diet-based reaction- but bread shouldn't cause that as they reccomend giving bread to small rodents with diarrhea to calm it, so it may be more like a bowl/colon problem, internal, rather than just irritation.

Give her a bottle of water but also provide a bottle of cold, weak camomile tea, a natural cure for diarrhea, and give her stale bread/plain toast with no other food until it clears or you take her to a vet.

Mice don't get wet tail.

Hamsters do.

Mice, rats, gerbils etc. can get diarrhea and e.coli, but NOT wet tail, so do not give them medication for wet tail.

Answer 5

Diet changes and stress can cause "wet tail" in rodents. Just go to your local pet store and tell them your mouse has wet-tail and they will give you drops to put in her water. They're usually about $3 Bread usually doesnt do it. Fruits and Veggies may

Answer 7

Take her to the vet if it keeps going for another few days.

I reccomend not to feed her bread just to be sure she doesn't get sick from bread.
