So you vet tech mice. Lol. Are we seriously debating this? The fact that your a vet tech doesn't make you an expert. And yes I am no expert. That's an altered pic. Prove that it isn't. And oh don't assume just because your a vet tech that your an expert at dead animals. I put down my fair share of animals when I work for the spca of pinellas county. Not that you haven't put down animals in your time. But how many pet mice have you actually euthanized as a vet tech. (Not as snake food). And then how many do you euthanize for snake food? I average somewhere around 400 euthanized mice/rats a month.

How often do you take those mice and set 'em up for necropsies (guess which animals are flat on their backs with the nose in the air!) or pose 'em for distraught owners?

And prove it? Well, I only have frozen mice, but fine. I'll go thaw out a mouse, use some string to tie it to some cardboard, and show you how easily that is done. The belly will be more saggy on mine, due to the nature of tissue breakdown from freezing, but in an hour or so, I'll show you that pic.

If you succeed. I will change my stance. I have sat with a lot of people surrendering animals knowing the animal will be euthanized. Angered at the fact too. Mostly because the owner refused to pay vet bills. I am sure you get the plenty of that too. And you also see great owners. That was rare for me to see.

Can't say I saw many necropies. But the few I did see, the heads of the animals were laid to the side.

The ears on mine are NOT perked... because it is a rather old frozen mouse. But the ears on a fresh-killed would still be 'normal' looking.

Pictures in just a minute.

*edit*

Allright, his face is all squished up on one side, but his head is actually NOT tilted. I couldn't get his lips to go back to 'normal'.

Very good. I am wrong. It could be not altered. I still think the ears and boy parts are altered but I am way wrong about the head.

Wow- dead mouse pics! Morbid yet fascinating.

Thanks for the efforts! To me the photo of the OP is not altered. A freshly killed mouse can have roundef ears and I don't see how the boy parts would look different.
