Uveitis in Ferrets



Are you familiar with eye illnesses in ferrets? Ferrets are prone to eye related conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal atrophy, etc. Uveitis is also an eye condition that can affect ferrets. Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea or the middle layer of the eye. This illness can affect ferrets of any age. It is most commonly triggered by trauma to the eye. For instance, an eye wound could become infected. The infection could lead to the development of Aleutian’s disease virus which also goes by the name of Uveitis. This disease can lead to other eye conditions include glaucoma or cataracts. If you notice your ferret behaving oddly in any way then you should schedule a check up with the vet. Uveitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication. It’s important to treat early to prevent further eye damage. Click here to learn more or call your vet Bloomfield Township.
