I've never had a mouse before, but maybe you can find or fashion something similar to this. I know it's used to stop dogs from scratching their faces or biting/licking a part of their body that recently under went surgery. My cat had one when his tail was broken. I don't know how a mouse would react to something like that, but maybe if it works and he has it on for awhile he'll get used to not touching his face and break the habit.

Anyway, one of my mice, Ted, has a problem with scratching himself until he bleeds. I have a medicinal ointment for it, which worked. But now he's scratching until the areas around his eyes are bleeding a little. I obviously can't put the mediciine from the vet on his face (first off, he said I couldn't, and second, I wouldn't anyway) so does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do?
He's so adorable I hate seeing him that way.
Just a suggestion.
