Is her breathing obvious and very rapid? Is there any crackling noises when she breathes? And how quickly did the mouse develop this? When you say hunched, do you mean her back is arched and will not relax? And does her face look skinny and stomach look hollow?

Pardon all the questions, but if what I decribed above is symptoms she is showing this is serious, and you need to move her out and away from your other doe now.
If you are willing to take her to the vets, do it quickly.

I have had a mouse that showed the symptoms I described above (though the crackly breathing appeared towards the end), I'm not entiredly definate on what it was, but I think it was lower respitory disease or pnuemonia.

Though I may have got the wrong idea when you said hunched... hehe Better to be safe than sorry I say.

Keep a close eye on your other doe, lower resp problems aren't generally as contagious as other stuff, but like I said above, always better to be safe than sorry.
