Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center. I am so sorry about your mouse, Gizmo. You do not mention how old she is, but as you probably know, mice only live about 2 years. They are very prone to some tumor viruses, so with their very short life span will be very predisposed to developing cancer. I wish I could offer some hope, but even with veterinary care, if the tumor is malignant, nothing much can be done. Keep her as comfortable as possible, spoil her as much as you can, & hopefully you can keep her comfortable for the rest of the time she has left. All the best.
