Subject: Re: Blind ferret

My little man Rocky who crossed to The Bridge in January was almost 7 years old. When I took him to the vet for boosters and a check up at around 8 months old he was diagnosed with juvenile cataracts. Over the years his sight kept going down hill and we believe that he was totally blind for the last 2-3 years of his life. But if you watched when everyone played you would never have guessed that the little guy was blind as a bat!!! He found his way around inside the boat with no problems and even knew his way around outside when I took him out on his leash.
