How would one take care of an injured baby mouse?

User Avatar

Asked by Ashify

Face the facts. Natural Selection. Put the poor thing out of it's misery.

AnswerTake it to the vet if it stands a chance of survival. AnswerSome vets won't do anything, My cat bought in a wild baby mouse, fortunately it wasn't injured, I phoned the vets to see what to do and all they could say was put it back into the wild - I was furious as it was live bait for another animal to harm. We kept it warm, and fed it, and its still alive which is more than it would have been if it was up to our vet!! AnswerCats catch mice for "sport". They don't have any real desire to eat them (normally), and often catch them and present them to their owner as a "gift". Often the mice will be relatively unharmed. If completely unharmed, (and you can get it away from the cat), DO release it back to the wild, it is the only place a wild mouse should and would want to live. If the mouse is injured, unfortunately you probably won't have much luck with vets who "have to draw the line somewhere..." So the same applies. The only other option, is to keep the mouse as a pet, research this, and feed and care for it as you would a pet mouse. But the wild mouse will *still* be unhappy, and will try and escape by any means...

ANSWER

My cats caught a family of mice living in our basement. They killed most of the babies, and the dad. The mom lived, but the mouse was only a few days old, and we had no way to get it to its mom. I took care of it personaly, making sure that it was eating. After it was old enough to take care of itself, I let it go. I know it was a risk, but it knew how to find food and water on its own. It probably has its own family now. If your cat catches an injured mouse, and the vet wont do anything to help, first make sure that none of the vets will help. There is more than one vet in your town I am almost sure. If not, try to take care of it as much as you can. Sometimes, it will heal completely on its own. If it does not heal completely, keep it as a pet. It will not be a hand- held pet, but more like a fish, cool to look at.
