Question i found a sick mouse, he is still breathing but i dont know how to make him feel better, i put some peanut butter and some water near him but he doesnt want it, what can i do i dont want him to die
Answer Really the only thing you can do is get him to a vet as soon as possible. If it is obvious that he is sick, (mice will try everything to hide illness as it makes them more likely to get eaten) then its likely hes in pain and is very sick, therefore he would need a vet to at least give him pain relief. He probably wont get better on his own but a vet would need to decide what can be done to treat him. Good luck
