I'm worried about my white mouse named Mizu. She's going to be around a year and a half years old in a month or two and I've noticed that her right eye appears closed. She's had a smaller looking eye before around 3 months ago but it returned to normal after 3 days and it wasn't looking completely shut like it is now. Her eye appeared normal only 4 days ago but as time went on it got worse. She also walks a lot slower than the other mouse that she shares the cage with (approximately the same age) and she occasionally falls on her side when climbing down from toys and has to roll over to get back up. She's still eating and doesn't isolate herself but she doesn't have coordination to run on her wheel or really run anywhere at all. She's had this issue for only less than a week but I noticed her coordination problems when her eye was still normal so I don't think the issue is her sight. Please help!
