...if anything, I've just found my cat playing with a little mouse, the mouse is alive but really shaking, theres no blood but I think his back leg is broken, is there anything I can do? what do wild mice eat? or will he just die from shock & am I prolonging his agony keeping him? (he's in a little box now...:()

RE: What can I do for a mouse with a broken leg...
Take him to your nearest vet or animal shelter. He will need professional attention if he is to make it. Best to let someone like the vet handle it for the mouses sake! He is probably in shock anyway. Quicker the better to the vets!

Thanks caveman, he seems to of calmed down now, I was going to leave the box somewhere safe so he can crawl out...I'm not too sure if his leg is broken now, he's moving about ok

That's good news. I think you're right in that he should calm down again if you leave him for a while. Then if he looks ok let him out later. Good luck!

If you've got some Rescue Remedy, I would apply 3-4 drops on the back of his neck, a few times a day.
