HELP: He bit the feeding tongs!
So I was feeding him and I usually use tongs, but this time, he missed and grabbed ahold of both the tongs and the mouse, and so he had, in his mouth the looped in his mouth (my tongs look kind of like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21%2BZ9Pqn49L.jpg ) and, thinking that he might try to swallow it, I tried to get him to let go, spraying him with water and kind of running it over his face and manually trying to pry his jaws open. There was a lot of blood on the mouse, but upon further inspection, he bit a hole in the mouse, and the blood is probably from the mouse. When he let go, he was breathing kind of funny (although I think that might've been from the water).
I have the option of--going to the emergency room (vet) here to get him checked just in case (but, he does seem fine for the most part other than the wheezing) or leaving him alone. I was just on the phone with one of the emergency techs at the local vet hospital and I know walk ins cost 100. Should I just wait till tomorrow and schedule something?
He is obviously. Not interested in eating right now. Should I just try again next week?
