My mouse is sick, can't walk, losing weight. Is she dying?

Question

My mouse can't walk. Has lost a lot of weight and seems to be distressed. What's wrong with her and how can I help her at least feel better? Is she dying? Pet's info: Small Animal | Mouse | Female

Yes, unfortunately she looks very ill and she may be dying. There is not really anything you can do except take her to a vet. If you can't do that all you can do is keep her calm and quiet and if she is not drinking you can syringe some water into her mouth every few hours. Be sure she is warm. You can give her one drop of Children's Paracetamol liquid if you can find it. You can give that every 8 hours.
