Lice In Pet Mice

 

If your mouse happens to be infested with lice, it will suffer from extensive scratching and itching.  Fortunately, lice infestations are quite simple to treat.  As soon as you find lice infesting your pet, contact your veterinarian immediately.  Using anti-lice medication for people is not ideal for use with your pet.  Products like these are not formulated with mice in mind therefore could have ingredients toxic to them.  While your mouse is undergoing lice treatment, you will need to clean its enclosure and the furnishing thoroughly with mild soap and water.  Dispose of the leftover food and bedding material properly.  If the weather outside is freezing, you can put these items outside overnight to destroy the lice.
