My pet mouse is limping with a deep wound on her hip. What to do?

Question

I cant get photos, but i recently got a pet mouse and a couple of days ago she started limping, i figured she hurt herself so i left her be for a few more days. last night i wanted to check on her and she appears to have a hole right in front of her hip. its bad enough that i can see inside of her..

Hello, and thanks for your question. Poor little Lilith! This is something that needs to be addressed by a vet immediately. Lilith could have an abscess, or an injury that she's worsening by licking/chewing if it's causing her discomfort. This is not something you will be able to treat with home remedies from your description, so she should be seen as soon as possible to minimize her suffering.
