Is my mouse sick?Should i remove her from the cage away from the other mice?

I have this one female mouse who is smaller than my other 3. She is not yet full grown but shes close. But ever since I got here she has been hunched over and coughing. She will occasionally move around or run on the4 wheel but she still seems sick. Any ideas on what the problem is and what I should do about it\.Thanks.Is my mouse sick?Should i remove her from the cage away from the other mice?
i had a hamster that was more less like that, i get her to the vet and he told me she was going to die on winter because she had asthma, it was not contagious,





I RECOMEND YOU TO GO TO THE VET AS NO ONE IN YAHOO ANSWERS WOULD REALLY KNOW HOW TO HELP, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PROFESIONALS AND WE CANT SEE YOUR MOUSE.





i hope it gets better, good luck and happy chrismas.





PD: DONT LET THE DAYS PASS ON OR YOU CAN REGRET IT.Is my mouse sick?Should i remove her from the cage away from the other mice?
鈥?Respiratory illness manifests itself in mice with what sounds like a tiny sneeze or cough. While this may look and sound quite cute, it can indicate a serious problem if it occurs regularly. While sneezing can be caused by a simple allergy and is just as simply remedied, it can also indicate a bacterial or viral infection, which unfortunately is not as easily curable. To determine if your mouse is truly ill, or just suffering from allergies you can perform a simple test. Remove them from their enclosure for awhile. If the tiny sneezes subside than you know that something in your mouse鈥檚 environment is irritating them. Likely culprits are bedding and food. You can try switching these with hypo-allergenic alternatives, until you find something that you little pet seems comfortable with.





鈥?However, if your mouse does not seem to be helped by a change of scenery, it may be seriously ill. Sickness in mice is usually accompanied by rough fur, glazed eyes, and curling into a ball or hunching over. Reductions in activity or grumpy mood are also indicators of an illness. If you have more than one mouse it is important to separate the one you suspect to be sick from the rest to ensure the infection does not spread. Take your mouse to the vet as soon as possible. Your vet will either prescribe some antibiotics to be put in the mouse鈥檚 water or a dropper to drop some directly in their mouths. Hopefully your mouse will make a full recovery.
Yeah remove her from the rest.





Keep her cage as clean as possible!!!





Play with her as much as you can keep her warm, make sure she's clean and depends on what type of sickness she's got make sure she's not with the other mice.





I hope she gets well soon!!
take it out and put it to sleep it is the best thing to do at this point
just feed her to a snake, i guess
take her to a vet
