RE: What can I do for a mouse with a broken leg...
Thanks again everyone, I'm not sure what typeof mouse he is calmer, he was very small but could of been a baby
This is the first time that Salems ever brought something home alive, I think he was showing off to another cat & to give Sa his due he came to me as soon as I called him & let the mouse be
At least most animals hunt for food, whereas some humans hunt for sport
So true cavey, I find myself in a dilema if I see a fly caught in a spiders web...do I set the fly free & deprive the spider of it's lunch or do I leave the fly struggling & in for a gruesome death.....hhhuuummm...k so I'm nuts[sm=speechless-smiley-008.gif]but nature is nature, we've just forgetton because our meat it wrapped in plastic & looks clean[:-]
Love

Exactly. You hit the nail on the head there.

Hi Amelia Jane,
Your mouse friend looks really cute......i hope he's doing ok back in the big wide world! I have never kept cats, but my next door neighbours cat keeps leaving mice on my doorstep every morning! However, they are always dead, which makes me sad. My husband gets sick of disposing of them! When i lived at home with my parents we used to have a huge garden, with hedgehogs, wood pigeons, frogs and mice. I used to love looking out of the window at dusk in the summer time when all of the little creatures would come out. I do find it sad when cats kill these animals, but, it is nature and the way of the world. (felt really guilty this morning as i accidently drowned a spider in the kitchen sink!)
Be sure to post more pics if you rescue any more mice!!!!

Same situation - mouse broken leg, actually dragging leg. Otherwise unhurt. Ideas?

Vet, or RSPCA Wildlife Centre (you may have to take, they don't collect mice). If it is a proper 'break' then it may not survive, due to shock.
