Crippled lethargic field mouse in need of help

I caught a field mouse in a live trap and it's lethargic and thin. I put it in an old hamster cage with bedding and a hot water bag under the cage for warmth. I offered it soft carrots and water but I don't have a syringe or dropper to water it with and no where near me to take it. I live in a very "roden bad ew" area. How do I help it?

It sounds like you’ve already done the most important thing by getting the little mouse somewhere quiet and warm. I’d keep handling to a minimum, leave a very shallow dish of water nearby and offer a small amount of soft food rather than trying to force-feed it. If it remains extremely weak or cannot use its legs properly, a wildlife rescue or rehabilitator would still be the safest option if you can find one within travelling distance.
Completely separately, for adults interested in online casino entertainment, I also recently came across https://betzino-francia.com/.
Hope the little mouse manages to recover it’s kind of you to give it a chance rather than simply leaving it outside.

Poor little mouse! It sounds like you're doing your best to help it. Offering warmth and soft food is a good start. If you can't get a syringe or dropper, maybe try placing a small dish of water near it.
