think my ferret is blind in one eye

[Guest bigredbusa]

as my previous post , my hob took a kicking and come out with a cut in the corner of his eye .

he is an albino but now has one very dark cloudy black eye while the other is the standard red .

. will have a better look in the morning but doesnt seem to have slowed him down .

 

anyone seen it before? (excuse the pun)

As long as he isn't in pain i wouldn't worry, ferrets eyesight is crap anyway, they hunt by scent and touch!

Got one Polecat Jill, who has what I can only describe as catarax in one eye, she only got it about 3 months after I got her and I have no Idea of her age but her working ability has always been abit hit and miss and too be honest I never saw achange when it happened.

 

I always thought ferrets hunted with eyes shut while under ground as if I pick up a albino after its been under and is covered in mud they always have a 1mm band around the eye which is clean.

Give it a chance the eyes very tender might be settle down and be okay in a few weeks .but the ferret wont be able to see much down a rabbit burrow so unless the eye becomes infected it should be okay .

some may remember i had a silver hob that lost his eye from a kicking,i had pics up for a bit.he was a tremendous worker even after the eye loss but he became very nippy in the warrens.i felt he became very jumpy due to his lack of sight but had him for 2 seasons afterwards.it wont affect his work rate for sure BRB.
