I think I'd do nothing out of sheer inability to deal with
conflicting emotions.

actually, I think that'd mean I'd have a mousetrap with a dying mouse in it.

Not a fair question... I don't like mice.
I doubt this mouse could survive on its own, even if you took him
to the vet. So, what you are really talking about is whether you
should adopt the mouse (feed and shelter it), kill it outright, or
let it die on its own.

I guess that's true. I'd have a boxed, injured, starving, dying mouse,
then. ;)

I guess, since I'm not a mouse person, that I would not keep it. That
being the case, I think the more honest approach would be euthanasia.
I suppose the other option is to give it to a friend who might take
care of it.

#4 -- Painfully true. If I had the facilities, I would keep the
mouse. Otherwise, I would kill the mouse by dropping a sizeable
weight on the box. Disgusting, I know, but fast and (hopefully)
painless.
Bye, bye, Mickey.

I would take the mouse to the vet and ask his to do what was appropriate.

I'd kill the poor mouse, as painlessly as possible. I was in a similar
situation about 2 months ago; One of my cats had kittens, and one of them had a
lung infection that spread to the CNS. The way it was going it wouldn't have
lived more that about 6 hours, so my wife let me take it outside to snap its
neck. I found that i couldn't do it, so i placed the kitten in the kiddie pool
while i went to dig the grave. The way the kitten was breathing, it took it all
of about 5 seconds to die. I felt miserable about it for days afterward...

I think I recall saying that if I could I'd take the animal to the Huron Valley
Humane Society. My daughter worked there as a volunteer several years ago, and
they do an outstanding job of saving animals. If that option were not possible
I'd do what I could to save the mouse.
