Hi Sandra,
If it is white- or bluish it is most likely a cataract beginning. He will
have soem vision until the cataract covers the pupil. Many elder ferrets c
an deal well with even bilateral cataracts... I am not sure if there is any
way to deal with the cataract without expending a TON of money on a
specialist.... and if the surgery would even be well tolerated due to his
current medical conditions.
