At the beginning of this year I noticed that Seamus’ right eye was bulging slightly so we went to my vet for a check-up. The diagnosis was glaucoma :( There’s nothing that can be done for that and, as a blind ferret is not a handicapped ferret, it didn’t upset me too much to hear that he had it.

Chucky, my first male, developed cataracts when he was about 6 years old and it didn’t stop him from racing around the house.
