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...

Is it as bad as the hanta virus? Like, for humans, too?

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW Neri. I hope the rest make it through this. You have such a big heart for animals

[(JD)]

neri.... I meant to add that I'm sorry about your mice... I know, I mean, that any have died makes it bad... I was thinking about how dangerous for you the virus is...

[neri]

oh.. it's not dangerous to people. Hmm... http://www.rmca.org/Articles/sendai.htm there's some information about it. I so wish the rest will survive..

neri, how are they doing? and how are you doing? let us know....pat

Neri,

I hope your little children are doing better...I know how hard it is to take care of so many animals & staying up to monitor their condition. It takes a tole on us too with the worring stress & trying to do the right thing to take care of them. It is good there is information on the virus so you know more about what is going on with them....not the unknown but still hard to provide the needed care.

Take care of yourself too so you can continue their care. It is so wonderful that you care so much about these little creatures. So much love you have to provide...they are lucky to have someone like you that cares about them....I would be the same way....every little creature deserves to have that kind of care because the life of each one is important to recieve the best care possible.

How wonderful you are.
