Mouse is really poorly and i can't get him to vet till tomorrow. I made the mistake of googling his symptoms. He could have anything from conjunctivitis to acute kidney failure.
I'm not gonna sleep a wink now tonight.
If you're feeling poorly do not i repeat do not try an online diagnosis. It will worry you silly.

I think there's always a benefit to reading as much as you can about things like that. Just keep in mind that you're wasting energy (and a good night's sleep) by fretting. I'm sure your vet will respond positively to the fact that you're smart enough to look into things, and they'll probably stick you at the head of the queue if you mention you've done some layman research and are concerned about something serious.
I know you must feel a bit helpless, but you've done everything you can. Stay as calm as you can. Pets (like children) can be affected by stressful households, so you're not doing mouse any favours by being upset.
I'll think positive thoughts for you.

He's got flu. The poor little fella. Hopefully the jabs he's had today will make him feel better soon.
