I don't think there's much you can do - only provide it with a heat pad (UNDER the base or on the other side of the glass, not where the mouse can get to it). If you have other mice, you might want to separate this one from them in case she's infectious.
I've kept mice for a while, and once they get symptoms like this, they need the vet. A couple of months ago I thought one of my mice seemed a bit quiet, and she was dead the next day. Not to scare you, just trying to make you understand this could well be serious. Please get mousy to a vets - they're never expensive to treat! You might have to brace yourself for the worst even so I'm afraid.
Best wishes,

i had this problem with my ferret, he's not the little kit he used to be, and maybe your mouse is getting out of that phase, and depending on the age of it there might be a problem. mice only live for around 2-4 years, i would suggest calling a vet instead of taking him there. they'll make the time to talk to you.

Make sure he is hydrated. Fill an eye-dropper with water and while holding the mouse, squeeze open his mouth and drop in one drop of water at a time. Hydration is a big problem with sick tiny pets. Best of luck!

poor mouse! the vet doesn't actually cost that much. When I took my mouse in, it was about $20. I couldnt bare to watch my mouse in such misery! I would take it in and get him checked out, then you will get medicine to give him, and he will be all better!
