Some strains of mice just have longer hair compared to most mice, much like long-hair and short-hair cats. It's genetic thing, not worrisome. In fact, many mouse owners and breeders like having long-hair mice, because they're very pretty.

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!
