Eye Health in Albino Ferrets

Your veterinary clinic Scottsdale, AZ can tell you that Albino ferrets tend to be mischievous characters that love exploring and getting into trouble. Due to their size and insatiable curiosity, ferrets often find themselves in predicaments that leave them injured. It’s very common for ferrets to have damage to their eyes from fighting with other ferrets or getting into fights with cats. If you notice your Albino ferret’s eyes are irritated or injured then call your vet. Ferrets are susceptible to various eye conditions including cataracts. Although cataract removal surgery is available for ferrets, most owners turn down the operation due to health risks for the ferret and cost of surgery. Glaucoma is also common in ferrets. The disease can cause blindness in ferrets and usually affects both eyes. It is not known if glaucoma is genetic. Ferrets with glaucoma tend to lose their vision at a slower rate than other animals with glaucoma.
