    Feeding Mouse poss RI?

    I have this breeder mouse that hasn't given me any babies and she I think has a RI... I love her dearly her name is Pandora and she was one of the two first mice I have ever owned. She is sweet and really cute.. But now she is coughing and choking... I can't take her to the vet because I only have the money this week to take my new baby ball to get her first check up... I feel aweful that I can't help her and she looks like she is suffering... I truely do love her and don't want to see her in pain anymore... So.. I'm torn between her little life or Ki's ( my BP) tummy... I can't really afford to take a $2.50 mouse to the vet where the bill will be about 45-50 dollars they estimated.... So I guess I'm asking should I spare her life or feed her to ki?

    I guess want to know if it would be unwise to feed her to Ki since i suspect RI... I have another healthy mouse that I could feed to him but it would be a waste since then I would lose two mice that way (if Pandora in fact dies) The Pandora only acts like she has RI sometimes... it comes and goes... Should I give her a chance? It could just be allergies right? I really really don't want her to die.. and I don't want to kill her... but its feeding day..... Like I said before she only seems sick once an awhile like every 2 weeks... I know it sounds mean but I would rather feed the healthy mouse to Kyros cause one its healthy and two I don't like her as much ( she BITES)... What should I do..... I want to give her a chance but if she is going to die anyway, it would be a waste if I could have fed ki with her... Then again do I really want to feed a possibly RI mouse to my snake? not really... What do you think... Would a mouse with RI hurt Kyros?

    I have decided to feed Kyros the healthy mouse. I know she is healthy and I only want the best for him. I'm going to let Pandora live.... She is still doing her mousey thing, her symptoms aren't consistant... Maybe a food allergy?
