well, went in garage to check on mice and noticed one leaving a trale of blood. then when i picked her up there was a lot of blood coming out of her bits. some lookd like watered down blood and then some looked like pure blood.

never noticed it before in a mouse and really dont know what to do?!?!?!?

Is she pregnant?
If so she could be aborting.
Or have a prolapse.
Failing that I don't really know.
Personally if she continues and isn't going to give birth I would do what needs to be done. At least that way your not wasting her.

i was thinking the same. at the moment it doesnt look good. i will give her 30 mins and if she doesnt stop bleeding and looses condition any more i will put her to sleep.

she is not pregnant, i think it is hurting her as she is always liking herself clean.

what is a prolapse by the way. sorry to sound stupid.


thanks a lot

just done a better examination. the vagina looks very open and blood is coming out. i have cleaned her up, but it looks like fresh blood is coming out.

what was a prolapse? if it is anything to do with internal organs it may be that as i went to pick her up and she squelled.

any help please!!!!! she is deteriorating (SP) very very fast!!!!!

If you pick her up and look at her bits there would be a small lump protruding from her. You should be able to see it quite clearly.
They usually lick it so much that it bleeds and they soon die. There's not much you can do as they are so small.

On the other hand it could be that the male has been a bit rough and she will be fine in an hour or so. Supposing she's in with a male??

If she is so ill I would euthanise her to save her suffering!!!!

if she is in pain, and you are not going to take her to a vet, then re-cycle her

(yeah sorry all the antis that read the boards but.. christ.. you can't let them suffer!)

if i have an injury to a breed for feed producer, they get re-cycled i'm afraid

a prolapse is where the insides come out via the anus or vagina.

vaginal prolapse normally is the womb coming out. anal is normally the bowel coming out..

i have a pic of a skunk prolapse if you would like to see, but its not pretty..

yes she is in with a male. i just checked her tub and there seems to be some fleshy stuff with blood in. it is tiny, about the size of a mouse poo. i will check her for lumps now.

she doesnt seem herself at all.

i checked all the others and they were fine and i gave her a good check over so it doesnt look like it has been fighting.

thanks a lot

she hasnt got the pretruding lumps but she has continued bleeding.

what do you think i should do. from what is coming out of her i dont think she will survive so i think it may be nicerto euthanaise her.

what do you think?

thanks a lot for all your help

have checked cage etc and no signs of miscarrige. i had a mouse in a different colony have a miscarrage and she bled but it was different if ya get what i mean. im 90% sure its a prolapse. it looks like tissue that she has either wee'ed or poo'ed.
