Despite your awesome graphic design skills, I think a photo will be required

Exclamation

I cant get a pic becuase the cutie will not stay still for long enough for my camera to focus

It doesnt seem to be in ant pain, its running around, using the wheel, and it has been with a male for quite some time now (maybe its pregnant)??

The male is fine!

Is the mouse female? If so has she had a litter before? sometimes they get prolapses due to this, sometimes constipation. Sounds like a prolapse to me....seen hundreds of the bloody things, sadly, not many of them that i have seen go away easily.

Is it female though? I would never trust a pet shops sexing abilities...words fail me when it comes to it really! If she/he is just a baby then its less likely to have had a litter. What are they fed on? Perhaps something in the diet has caused it to strain?

hmmm, not usually easy to cure it tbh, depends how bad it is. Perhaps you could separate them for the time being, and make sure she is on a soft bedding material so nothing irritates it. A vet trip might be in order and possibly they could help...hope it goes away...but as i say, i have never witnessed one going away itself.
