Is this a common thing in ferrets?  Has anyone had any experience with
it?  We have taken on a rescue, who was dumped at a pet store 4 months
ago.  She had been living in a cat carrier in the family's car--the
family was living there too--being fed nothing but cereal for who knows
how long.  No one expressed any interest in her, so we were able to get
her for free.
 
She seems to have the beginnings of adrenal--bald tail and some hair
missing on her butt.  She is deaf, and we believe possibly completely
blind.  She is going to the vet soon, but in the meantime I was hoping to
find some resources to look to to learn about blindness and the best way
to handle her.  We have 3 other deaf ones, so I knew to approach her from
the front.  Realizing she jumps even when we do that makes us think that
she is at least partially blind.
