The cloudy eye in that young one could have a cataract. Some ferrets are genetically inclined to juvenile cataracts, and there is some work from Australia (by Dr. John Lewington) which will be published on DEWs and a dietary contribution to cataracts in some of the them. Also check for other possible causes such as glaucoma, injury, etc. Glaucoma can be painful so calls for meds or eye removal. A corneal injury requires PROMPT medical care. The good thing is that ferrets do not usually mind losing their sight. They are far more oriented to the other senses. "Scent mapping" info is in both the FML and FHL Archives in case sight is fully lost or greatly compromised. We have done that for ages -- something around 2 decades or more since the first modest version, I suspect -- with excellent results.
