Default MOUSE squeaking non-stop
My mouse is squeaking like mad.. it sounds like a rubber sole of a shoe sqeaking continually... its been going on for about a week... and NO dont tel me to feed it to the snakes... this is a pet one not a feeder...

Im just wondering if its normal as she hasnt ever made this much noise continually before...

No, it's completely not normal.

Mice should only squeak as juveniles or when fighting/mating.

It sounds like a respiratory infection, and you might not HAVE a couple of days to get her to the vet if she's been doing it for a while.

any chance its pregnant? my females can be noisy when they first fall pregnant but calm down after a few days . think its a hormonal thing.

how old is it? if it does die don't feed it to anything if you don't know whats wrong with it.

she could be wheezing. i find that baytril often works. i use the injectable solution rather than the liquid as it seems to give them diarrhoea. you should be able to get it from your vet

My wee mouse has been terrible recently.. i took her to the vets... she said it could be an allergy to her sawdust.. so i changed it to paper towels and shes been a lot better.. the vet also said she could have a polen/ hayfever allergy...

or a wee cold.. so shes now had antibiotics too LOL

all that for my wee mouse ...
