I need some advise please,

After over a year, my 7 3/4 yr old Princess is totally blind. Since I
have never had a blind one before need some help on her.

Sometimes she acts like she is panicing and totally lost. She has lived
here for 7 1/2 years. She goes around the room fast, and in a circle, I
pick her up and give her kisses and snuggles, she wants down, then she
starts doing the same thing in a different room, she does it wether I
pick her up or not so I don't think it's for attention.

I live in a 12X56 trailer, she finds her way down the hall, from 1 end
of house to the other, to the kitchen for food, and on to the deck and
back.

Is that circle and acting lost thing typical behavior of a blind
ferret?

The only play she will do now is I jingle a toy (bell inside) she grabs
it and puts into a tube, her hiding place. It has to be really close
for her to do that.

Thanks for any advise

Carol, Princess, BG, Panda
