[Littlecimarron18]

what do i do?!?!
it bit my finger seems like clear to the bone!.
it bled alot.
any ideas?

if it bled alot that is good, washes it out. I would clean it well, disinfect it and call your doctor.

Pet mouse or wild mouse? I had a hamster bite through my finger to where you could see the two teeth wounds from the top side of my nail... he was a pet though and I just washed it off... not sure what you should do if it was a wild mouse.

Is this a wild mouse or one you have as a pet?

Edit: Looks like I was thinking the same as you, silkie, just a touch slower.

Wash it thoroughly and go to the dr tomorrow!!!!

I have been bit by a wild mouse before. You need hydrogen peroxide. Make sure your finger hasbeen cleaned then use it then bandage

it was a wild mouse that managed to get in my feed bin. i washed it while i was out there and sprayed blue kote on it. i just washed it with peroxide and bandaged it.
My doctor isnt in today.
u think this can wait till tomorrow?

If it was a wild mouse i would be calling the ER and asking them what I should do! How did you get bit by a mouse?

We arent doctor. We cant safely give out human medical advice.....just to be safe, I would call your Dr. tomorrow and just leave a message or speak with a nurse. I am SURE you are fine, but cant take that chance. Wild mice (if it is wild) carry diseases that are zoonotic.​

if it starts to get infected after a few hours then got to the hospital ASAP. I hope you are ok though and keep us updated
