This poor little pinky was pushed away from the rest of the nest .. at first I noticed how thin it looked compaired to the very fat and healthy litter mates.

I removed him and looked him over to find something I have never seen before.
I thought worms but my mice have recently been wormed and on closer inspection it looks like his stomach (internally) might be broken and has leaked around his intestines.

it also had undigested milk comming out his anus.

has anyone else got any ideas on this?

I also urge you to euthanize this mouse, if you haven't already.

Mother mice push sick or deformed babies out of the nest because they have no way to cull them, but they know when one isn't going to make it and they would rather use their resources differently. In effect, it is nature's way of culling.
