She’s eating and drinking fine, she is making nest, is this normal for all mice? Her weight gain is just around her belly area.
It’s very difficult to give her multiple meds, she sees me coming and runs to hide. I give the prednisone twice daily, that’s not so bad being a liquid, but it would be easier if I could get the pills in her all at one time. I’ve read where you can combine pills in an empty gel cap to get the cat to take them all at once, making it less stressful for her. What is your opinion on doing it this way?
Which ones? Most often it can be from allergies or secondary infection. I believe, though, that sometimes it can be neurological in nature too, such as having a spine pinching a nerve some place. A long shot is a nutritional issue, such as B vitamins levels issue.
I think my cat has been hit by a car and now she can’t move her tail and have bathroom issues

After that his behavior has changed from being an energetic dog (running a lot, jumping on me, etc.) and after that not so energetic. He sometimes just keeps standing. He eats well but now eats slower unlike before the haircut when he ate very fast.
Front paws. When I try to get it he snaps at me. How can I remove it
Feed him great treats while you try to remove it. Or muzzel him. If he is small you can have someone else hold him up so you can see the paws and do the removal while they hold him in place.
My 7 year old pitbull recently went about 4 days (maybe 5) without defecating and eating minimally (no dog food, just occasionally would sneak some people foood) and escessively thirsty and peeing excessively . I made a vet appointment, and the day prior to the appointment she defecated, and began to eat (not much for the most part, juat a few bites here and there and was back to being herself in regards to personality. To be safe I took her to the vet anyway as an appointment had already been made. The vet diagnosed it as pancreatitis, noting that she seemed to have pulled through the worst of it on her own he said and put her on a course of meds (antibiotic and what I understood to be a probiotic) After the first day of meds she again became lethargic, and again won’t eat, not eating is putting it lightly, she has an aversion to it, regardless of what food it is she tends to get up and move elsewhere to avoid it. She is still urinating and defecating infrequently despite diminished food and liquid intake
What diagnostics did your vet do to determine it was pancreatitis? It is possible that she’s reacting to the antibiotic or it is possible that the diagnosis is something else. I’d definitely call the vet back and tell them what is going on.
blood test and general examination. I will call to see if it’s a reaction to the meds
Can’t comment on the blood test much without knowing what it showed and whether or not they ran cPL. Please do talk to them, though.
Hi Charlotte,
Mice usually are jumpy/twitchy but without seeing your mouse, it’s hard to say what is going on. It could just be a normal mouse moving.
If she’s eating and drinking she is probably fine. YES, mice , all mice make nests, usually quite large one’s too. Add some paper towel or toilet paper tubes and she will have a ball shredding them up. Sounds like she may be pregnant. If she is, you will soon find baby mice! They are only pregnant for a few weeks before having babies and they can have around 7-14 babies.
Enjoy your new mouse!
