    The bite was some place in the mouth, after she caught it and instead of crunching it held it in her mouth too gently. Looked but didn’t find any wounds or blood, just know it bit her because she yelped. So I doubt that could have been cleaned in any way. Hasn’t bothered her since, just when it happened.

    This is a very rural area so I’d imagine the mice here are pretty healthy.

    I can have all the chats with her I want but her prey drive is just way too strong. I just hope she’ll learn to catch-and-crunch so it doesn’t happen to her again.

    Which infections and diseases should be considered? Given it’s a Northern rural field mouse.
