It's probably infected or is going to get infected. Go to the docs and get that looked at.
infected due to poor care of the wound, or it could be rat-bite fever (which can be carried by mice.) if you start to feel sick with chills, nausea/vomiting, body aches etc flu symptoms in anyway go to the doctor right away. but i would get that checked out just in case.
Get that checked out some kid died from a rat bite (rat was from petco). Probably won't die but get it checked out

You are becoming a weremouse
Avoid cats and food that looks suspiciously left in open view

Rash looking dangerously like a run in with rat bite fever.
Could also be a general infection, get that checked right away OP.
>>2348659

>going to an animal doctor for a human health related issue
I got rat bite fever from touching a dead rat once as a kid and not washing my hands, it's not fun OP.
Is this an american thing? Not going to the doctor with very obvious GO-TO-THE-DOCTOR stuff?
>>2349065
yes because the doctor is fucking expensive here, commiefag
>>2349065
Sadly yes.
However, if OP would have put some benadryl on it the moment he noticed an allergic reaction (hives) and the problem stopped, then a trip to the Dr would be be an inconvenience, and unnecessary waste of time and money.
Not everyone shares the same obvious "GO-TO-THE-DOCTOR stuff"

Op here, bite calmed down somewhat, but the area right around it turned purple. Got hives under my arms and behind my ears now. Also I have the most absurd craving for peanut butter.
Show us your gut OP
>>2348813
Yeah that poor kid died of rat bite fewer.
It's heartbreaking because he was such a nice kid who loved his pets very much.
Only two little hives on my stomach

I got bit by a wild mouse last year. I feel extremely lucky I didn't contract anything.
Holy shit OP, see the doctor.
>>2348659
Cute mouse, looks like a bacterial infection, go see a doctor.
Op here, no super powers I think, huuuuuge peanut butter craving. Think I might pass her off, don't wanna keep her if Im allergic.
>>2349114
Post more of your ribs
Please OP for my sake
Ps get to a doctor stat. Take some Benadryl in the meantime.
>>2349077
Yikes, I can smell the autism from here
Uh-huh. Your mouse fell down your shirt.
You were fucking around with it and when it "went down your shirt" you probably squeezed it in some way and it bit in self-defense.
You know you're supposed to give it a couple of days to adjust to a new home right? Methinks you got whst you deserved.
get to the fucking doctor and get quarantined op holy shit don't ask for help on a Mongolian basket weaving forum
>>2349662
Doubt you're allergic. The bite is probably infected because you failed to clean it properly. See a doctor.
>>2349077
leddit pls go
>>2348659
Cervical Dislocation, just punishment for your mouse's actions.
>>2348659
Hey. I don't know if I came to late. Ignore most of those posts.
I have been a fan of mice for about 10 years now and I've owned them for that long up until recently where I got an allergy.
You can live with it. Like I do, but I'm extremely careful when I handle them because I get that kind of shit too. I get a smaller version of that if i handle them too much. It's an allergy and it could suck.
I got bit once by a rat accidentally and that shit sent me to the hospital. Has something to do with saliva most probably but you can also get that from their urine (their little nails that get in contact with urine can poke you lightly and cause it)
I wouldn't be worried but what worries me is that you need to have female mice with another. They can't be alone. Males arguably can be alone depending on temperament but sometimes even males need companions.
They are social animals. Get 1 or 2 more females.
Also of course it'll bite you if you try to handle it the day you got it. It's stressed from the ride. Wait a week. And feed it treats with a clicking sound so it gets used to you.

Rub some dog shit in it next time you cut yourself, macho man
>>2349114
That looks pretty in line with rat bite fever. It could just be hives, but the complications are bad enough that I would get tested and nip it in the bud with antibiotics
>>2349152
get to a doctor bruh
>>2349152
hot body, but yeah i'd go to the doctor right away
>>2349077
This. But stop with that nu-male meme, it's only used by newfags and /lgbt/ or /pol/ lurkers
>doctor enters thread
Go to a doctor immediately. You need antibiotics.
Bizarrely, CAPTCHA was as attached.
OP is already dead. RIP that torso
>>2348659
You got bit by a dirty ass mouse nigga.
