Sick mouse possibly

[tvpthemvp]

Idk this mouse has had swelling for the last few days wondering if you guys think she's pregnant sick or what I should do. Possibly time to go feed her off?

I read they are only in heat for about 12 hours and she's been like that for a few days now. She is one of the biggest females I have but I don't think she is pregnant.

She looks pretty darn pregnant, can't tell from the pictures but does it look like a prolapse going on or just swollen?
Hard to say, maybe having issues getting babies out? I wouldn't think she would have lived a few days if that was the issue.
Is she acting normally, eating, moving around?

She's pretty normal she'll eat she moves around a bit she drinks water. But also Wheezes a little bit and or clicking almost

I've raised quite a few mice and I agree she looks pregnant. The noise concerns me a bit because my last pet mouse made a noise exactly like that a few days before he died. It is possible that's she's having breathing problems due to being very pregnant.

So do u think I should pull her away from her normal bedding and put her in newspaper sheds and a hide. Or what should I do. I heard it could just be an allergy but I am not sure which. Should I rotate another female with her so she has help?

The clicking has been going on for about 4 or 5 days now I believe I give them light during the day when I'm up my room is super hot so don't really supply heat bc my room is roughly 80_85 sometimes in the high 70s

From what I read going postal sounds like she is having a prolapse. Either way can be used for breeding anymore. Have separated her and put another female with her. To see if she give birth anytime in the next few days. If she continues to get worse I will have no choice but to feed her off.

That would be my approach, as long as she doesn't seem to be in pain and behaving normally I'd see if she just drops a litter soon. I know sugar water can help prolapse sometimes and I'd also get her on paper towels or newspaper if you suspect that so bedding doesn't get stuck to it. No idea on the breathing issues but might be better to get her away from your others just in case.

I've also read that putting a sick mouse by her self will speed up the decline.
