Thanks for reaching out about Koochi and including photo (although eye lesions are not evident). Being lethargic is a general sign of illness. Eyes that have turned white can be corneal ulcerations, glaucoma, cataracts, or other conditions. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Monitor food and water intake, try to determine is Koochi can see. When out of cage, observe if she can avoid walking into things. Hand feed/water if needed. Good luck.
