    So... you're all gona hate me, but i got another pet mouse, a female named Penny

    Nibbles needed a room mate, and we're planning on breeding the two feeders (Nibbles and Penny) with the two fancy mice (Lightning and Hippo). i'll be iterested to see what a fancy mouse+feeder mouse is.

    but anyways, we noticed that Penny has been sneezing a lot. i did some research and it could be from allergies. she could possibly be allergic to the bedding from the pet store, or what she has now. it could also be a cold, and worst scenario a respiratory infection. so... my ridiculous idea of the day... we're taking her to the vets tomorrow.

    anyone else ever taken a feeder mouse to the vets for a check up?? hehe. i felt pretty stupid, i called my work and was like "uhhh... when is Dr. Putt in... she does mice right" and the receptionist, Laurel, laughed at me. hehe

    hehe my bright idea.. :)

    No need for a vet visit. First, if you are using pine shavings for bedding- get rid of it now. That could be part of your problem, the oils in it can irritate the respiratory tract causing infections to crop up. Second, I am pretty sure you have a feed and grain type store near you, the type farmers use for stuff. Go get the teramycin powder (antibiotic) thats used for chickens, it should cost you around $3 maybe a little more little less. Mix 1tsp of the teramycin to the rodents water (in thier water bottle) to every 4 ounces of water, be sure that you cover the water bottle so the contents are kept in the dark, change DAILY. You must have the contents in the dark b/c light destroys it. Treat for up to 10 days.

    i would change the bedding to this stuff called Critter Care, it says on the label that its safe for.........Rabbitts,Guinea pigs,Hamsters,Rats,Mice,Gerbils,Ferrets,Reptiles. and birds.

    It comes in a piink package with a rabbit, guinea pig and mouse on the cover.It also says #1 formula.

    Its great stuff, i use it for my hamster,it absorbs well, doesnt smell, and is alot more comfy than any kind of shaving.Its a gray color, the sell it at walmart for three bucks a bag.
