Ask the Vet
Q. My mouse had an abcess in his eye; it was stuck out and the eyelid didn't close over it. I took it to the vet and they gave him some respitory track medicine (didn't even treat the eye) but I suppose all antibiotics are the same for mice. Anyways, two weeks later, the mouse is blind I believe from that side. The eye is back in the eye socket from what I can see, but there is a clear discharge all the time. The eyeball is not clear; in fact it looks deflated if that is possible? The antibiotics are done in two days; what do I do? Will he be ok or do I need to give him more antibiotics? Enrofloxacin was given, and vitamino, nothing topical. Enucleation obviously is not an option since a mouse may not live the anesthetic. Please help! -- Chrissy A., Orleans, ON Canada
