Hi all I have been reading about the ferrets and cataracts. Im not sure if any of you have looked into having your ferrets cataracts removed, but I think it is possible. Since a cataract is the cloudiness of the lens only, this may be removed. In humans the lens is replaced by an artificial one. In dogs it is removed but not normally replaced. This means that the dog can now see but not focus very effectively on an object, this is normally very sucessful to restore the sight but may be quite expensive. Apart from the size of a ferrets eye I dont see any reason why an eye specialist couldnt perfor the operation. Might be worth a look at? Dooks Maree and Jaala [Posted in FML issue 2256]
