What can you do if a baby mouse has a purple foot with a cotton ball stuck to it?

Most likely, if the mouse has a foot that has turned purple, the cotton has fibers wrapped around the tiny foot and has cut off circulation. The mouse may lose the foot but it may can be saved. It really depends on how long the foot has been without proper blood flow. First, get a magnifying glass so you can see really well and remove the fibers from around the foot. If the foot hasn't been caught in the fibers for very long, it may regain circulation and heal. Otherwise, the foot will die and fall off and the mouse will have a nub where the foot was but will otherwise be fine. They can deal with losing a foot fairly easily.
