A total of 44 eyes of 22 ferrets were examined by B-mode ultrasonography. Four
dimensions were measured: the distance from the corneal surface to the anterior lens
surface (M1), the axial lens thickness (M2), the distance from the posterior lens surface to
the retina (M3) and the distance from the anterior cornea to the retina (M4). The values
obtained were (mean, standard deviation, range): M1: 1.31 +/- 0.16 mm (1-1.7); M2: 3.42
+/- 0.15 mm (3.2-3.7); M3: 2.26 +/- 0.11 mm (2.1-2.5); M4: 7 +/- 0.24 mm (6.4-7.7).
To our knowledge this is the first description of ocular biometric measurement in the
ferret. These values show little variability of ocular dimensions in ferrets.

A domestic ferret was presented for episodic regurgitation. Cytologic examination and
culture of an enlarged submandibular lymph node revealed Cryptococcus neoformans
variety grubii (serotype A). The ferret was successfully treated with itraconazole. This is
the first documented case of Cryptococcus neoformans variety grubii in a ferret in the
United States.
