This is a very interesting question as I recently lost 3 ferrets to lymphoma. All three would begin looking like they were not feeling well through their eyes; a pinched look. Once their pred dose was adjusted up, they perked up and 'looked bettter' through their eyes.
Since Wolfy posted the eye pictures, I went back and looked at some recent digital pics of Frankie which I was able to magnify X8 and could see swellings of the tissues very similar to this ferret's eyes. BTW Frankie recently passed from Lymphoma.
Any thoughts on what may be causing this? Any input is appreciated.
