Oh my. Bleeding that is uncontrolled and won't stop should be addressed by your local pet pocket vet asap. He is squeaking likely because he is in pain and distress. Poor guy. : ( Here is a website link to help you find one in the area if you don't already have one. https://www.petcha.com/directory-of-veterinarians-for-exotic-small-mammals/ The vet will do a thorough exam of your mouse and determine the source of bleeding. If there is an injury or cut the vet will need to ligate and close the area and then get Coconut on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication at the very least. I wish you all the best with your mouse and hope that he has a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.
