Subject: retinal atrophy
My 4 yr old female has been running into things lately
so I took her to the vet to have her eyes checked. He
was able to visualize them very well as she held
amazingly still (very unlike her) He said there were
definite changes such as blood vessel narrowing. He
said he wasn't real familiar with the ferret eye,
however, as he doesn't usually have one that
cooperates as well. I had Zoey's cagemate with me and
suggested he look at Wriggley's to have a comparison.
Wriggley wasn't as cooperative but the vet was able to
see the retina. There is a definite difference and
change. He wasn't real sure what this all meant so I
am on a quest. Anyone care to comment? Any
treatments? Could there be a tumor at work? Please
respond, someone, I am worried about her, a lot. We
can deal with decreased vision and even blindness but
I am fearful that there is something life threatening
going on here. I have researched this list's archives
as well as the FML but didn't find much on this
subject. Any help or advice at all would be much
appreciated.
Thanks
Ann and Zoey
