Anonymous unfortunately, he may be nearing the end of his lifespan. i HOPE he’s okay overnight. i HOPE he will be fine and he’s just sick. i might try to keep him warm overnight, and i’d rush him to the vet first thing in the morning.

debra yuhasz The lifespan for rats and mice is about two years even with the best of care. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. Keep him warm and get him to the vet as early as possible.

Shiria I would definitly go to a vet with her. While with 15 months your mouse is older now, she still doesn’t need to day. Maybe a vet can still help your mouse. Most mice I knew got around 18-20 month old. As I can’t see him I can’t tell for sure of course, if help is still possible. The breathing problems and clicking sound could be signs of a lunginfection. He should get antibiotics for this. Sometimes Vitamin B can also help.
It is important to keep him warm and hydrated. You can try to place a drop of water near his mouth so he can lick it up. Goes best with a pipette or a smallsyringe without needle. But don’t try to force it into him. if he has already breathing problems this can make it worse.

Could It Be Allergies That Cause This. I Have Been Giving Benadryl Seems To Help…
Could it be allergies that cause this. I have been giving benadryl seems to help some and mainly seems to flair up in mornings. Is safe to use benadryl for long term use also?

debra yuhasz I have seen a few of my dogs do this from time to time. It happens once or twice and is then gone for months at a time. It does look like some kind of mucous, but I’m not a vet and can’t really say exactly what it is or what causes it. Benedryl, like other allergy meds, tends to work less the more often you use it. Which is why my vet says to only use it when absolutely necessary so my dog will get the full affect when it’s needed most.
Hi Dr. Magnifico. We Brought Boogie, Our DSH Tuxedo Cat In To See You Nearly…
Hi Dr. Magnifico. We brought Boogie, our DSH tuxedo cat in to see you nearly two weeks ago for what we suspected was a sprained leg. You didn’t think that was the case, but recommended us to crate him for two weeks, which we have been doing.
When we were there, you spoke to my husband and myself about how much food to feed our overweight cats (we have 6 cats, all overweight).
Since seeing you, we switched to Science Diet “Perfect Weight” Adult Dry, Chicken Recipe, from the “9 Lives” that we were feeding them. They love the Science Diet dry food we are feeding them now.
We also tried several of the Science Diet wet foods, with all our cats, and they want nothing to do with any of them.
It looks like we are going to have to stick with “Fancy Feast” for the wet food, but we are going to stop giving them the “Fancy Feast” gravy recipes, which was their favorite.
My question to you is, since the “Fancy Feast” wet foods come in small 3 oz cans, how many 3 oz cans per day, per cat?
Thank you so much!
Terri

Terri S Post author Thank you for your quick reply!
I do not see Boogie limping anymore, so I think he is good to go, but we are going to keep him in the crate until the two weeks is up, which is Wednesday morn. I know he is looking forward to freedom again, indoor only freedom, that is!
As far as the food, we will give each cat 2- 3oz cans per day and will do our darndest to cut back on the dry food too. It will be a drastic change for them and I know they will be driving me crazy for a while.
I was reading somewhere the other day, to cut back slowly if they are fed a lot, that that could cause health problems too, if I cut back drastically.
We did talk about dentals, but we can only afford one cat at a time, and probably two cats a year. Would like to start with Boogie and I think you said they must see you before I take the next step and talk to someone else about dental. Who is it that I need to call to set up Boogies dental appointment? I will do that asap. -

Does that mean I can go ahead and set up an appointment for him now? He did not actually have a full physical from you, I don’t think, or am I mistaken? Who is it that I need to call to set up Boogies dental appointment? Thanks again! -
Terri S Post author Wish I had gotten a reply to my last questions. Sigh.

Terri S Post author Wish I had gotten a reply to my last questions on this thread. I have no idea if Boogie had what is considered a physical while there and if we can go ahead and make an appointment for his dental.

Hope Dr. Magnifico Is Reading This Message Soon As I Do Not Know What To…
Hope Dr. Magnifico is reading this message soon as I do not know what to do. I noticed one of my cats, Dexter, attempting to pee on a cardboard box outside of the litter box. When I approached him he moved only to go to another area and attempt to pee. Having male cats blocked before or with UTI, I knew to keep watch on him. He was laying down and let me brush him for a while and acting okay. I then took a moist tissue and just patted his pee/butt area and a dried piece of poo came off. I thought yeah… that may be the problem because he immediately went to the litter box. After about 5 minutes he left the box without going to the bathroom. Should I take him to the emergency room or could it wait until you open in the morning. If you think I need to take him, which one do you recommend the most. Thanks Sandy Brown

i’d get her to the vet. today.
Some dogs keep themselves so clean during their season that you never see a single drop of blood. My Chihuahua’s are like that. I would be concerned about her sleeping so much. That is not part of a dog being in heat. Take her to the vet, please.
I have the same kind of dog you have and the same age to and she doesn’t act like this so I would get her to a vet
