There's some disease raging among my poor lil critters apparently it is this virus Sendai, i read about it and it sounds just right... HIGHLY contagious, HIGH mortality rate

FOUR of my mice has already died, they all got very ill very quickly

Five of the remaining 12 are on quarantine:
-Three are likely infected. I got one of them to start eating again, I'm starting to think she might pull trough. Either that, or she'll die in the next 48 hours.
-One isn't high risk anymore, she's gotten more weight , she's also gotten more tame, actually she is very people friendly now that she can't have mouse pals
-One has no symptoms yet, but there was a infected mouse in the same cage earlier, and this one is at the highest risk age...

Five of all the mice seem to be immune, or at least they have no symptoms eventhough they have all been at risk earlier. The last two i'm not sure of...

I'm watching all of the ones that seem healthy like a hawk, and i try to avoid any contact with them.

I'm so tired...
