Today, 16.12.2014 in 13:17 (1:17 pm) died one of my three black mouse girls... Lets says her strong story..

At 25.9.2014 i bought two little black mouse girls named Ball and Blackie:
Two little black spots UPDATE by Angi-Shy
Sadly Ball was very ill.. she was very tiny, she walked with back bent up too much just like all ill mice do.. She died three days after i bought her, at 28th..
Then i decided to buy two more blakc girls so Blackie wont be there all alone in the cage.. so i bought Little one and Second one.. yeahh i jsut called them this way.. i dont have any photos of them uploaded but this one where they sleep together with their hamster friend:

Blackie is on the left side, then its hamster girl Snowball, then its Second one and Small one on right..
When i brought the two new mice home, ive noticed that the smaller one (Little one) seems to be ill as well eventhough i checked them before i bought them.. it just wasnt as visible as it was on Ball.. First few weeks i kept checking Little one because i expected her to die soon as well..

Surprisingly she made it to young adult because she suddenlygot better, she was happy, curious, taking treats from my hand, drinking, runningon a wheel and doing mess of course ^^

One day i picked her up and told her "wow you have made it and grew up without problems! You seem to have a long happy life like the other two girls!"........... a few days later she stopper eating, stopped drinking completly and she became skinnier and skinnier... she started to have tics in her body as breathing started to be harder for her... she became a skeleton in skin.. i saw her only twice to nom on a cheese treat... but she tried to run in a Wheel still... she tried to clean herself eventhough she couldnt anymore because of weekness...
Vets dont do much to help these tiny animals, it is almost impossible...

I just realized i said that too soon... it didnt take a week and she was getting weak more and more... other girls and even the hamster were sleeping with her still, eventhough she tried to sleep alone in a corner like if she was looking for a hole to die in.. they didnt leave her...

I kept checking her every two or three hours to see how she is... i jsut decided to let her finish her life the way she wanted.. by just leaving without any pills that would make her body stay alive longer or anything..

Today i suddenly got a feeling that i have to check her again.. i took her out of the wooden house and noticed that she already is heavily gasping for air.. it was the last stage before death... all my other previous mice died the same way, by losing their breath in the end...

I put her in a warm napking and kept her with me on a couch, making ruse she wont hurt herself when leaving... Just a little while later she suddenly jumped up like if she tried to run away from shock... thanksfully she jumped right in my hand and ended up lying on her back.. i kept holding her because she was shaking and kicking legs alot as she tried to take a breath... i jsut kept holding her lightly saying "shhh its okay..." until she stopped kicking legs and her body loosened... she died in my hand and i knew it was her time jsut aminute before it happened...

I jsut hope her soul has peace now and she is not suffering from any illness anymore... <3 rest in peace Little one...


This photo was taken a day before her death...
