∙ 10y agoA mouse is a living creature - and it can feel pain as can any other animal (Mammal anyway) a quick excision of the tail might hurt some but it would still run away .
Caught BY said tail and left until it drops - would be very painful - it would be a question simply of observing that Humanity - male or female - can lose a limb and survive - so in fact it seems reasonable to suppose a mouse could LIVE without a tail - he / she might be embarrassed - the other Home-Mice might not recognise him

Can a stingray live without its tail?
I have seen sting rays that have only half of a tail or a little less, but never no tail at all. Seeing that they can live with partial tails I would say yes they can live without a tail, but it would probably shorten their lives considerable when you think about how many things they use their tail for.

What sickness does your mouse have if she has a purple tail and part of it is falling off?
Our mouse had a purple tail (just on the end, about 1-2") turning black and falling off, due to a fight with another mouse that damaged the tail and caused lack of blood supply. The vet gave both oral and topical antibiotics. He also told us that IF it spread to the base of tail, that was the spinal cord and mouse would need to be euthanized. (If that happens, the mouse would die in a lot of pain and it can't be fixed.) We had a happy ending: the damaged end of the tail fell off, everything else healed, and the mouse continues to live a happy and active life......in a separate cage! You need to get YOUR mouse to a vet for some antibiotics!
