You may or may not find a reason. I've had several ferrets that lost their sight to some degree as they got older. Penny (7 in December) is bumping into things lately. I had her in not too long ago for a thorough checkup, full bloodwork, the whole thing. My vet looked but really could not find a reason for her declining eyesight. Retinas looked good, no cataracts, etc. She has never been on pred or any meds other than Lupron.
She does quite well, even if she occasionally bumps her nose into things. When she goes down the hall, she hugs the wall and having lived in this house her entire life, gets around without too many collisions.
