Cerebellar hypoplasia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a disorder found in cats and dogs in which the cerebellum is not completely mature at birth. Usually symptoms can be seen immediately at birth in cats, but sometimes can take two months or so to become apparent in dogs. Cerebellar hypoplasia causes jerky movements, tremors and generally uncoordinated motion. The animal often falls down and has trouble walking. Tremors increase when the animal is excited and subside when at ease. There are several bacterial infections, such as herpes, that can result in the disorder in both cats and dogs. However, the disease can also be caused by malnutrition, poisoning, injury or general accidents during development in the fetus. The disease does not get better or worse with age, but the cat or dog can usually learn to somewhat compensate for it. Most afflicted animals can lead a fairly normal life if preperations are made by the owner for the animals disability.

Another place I found where it said this about CH . "As the kitten or puppy grows it will learn to compensate for its condition but there are usually lifelong signs of a decreased ability to coordinate movement. "


I got Amy when she was exactly 2 months old and I did not know anything was wrong with her. Once I held her, she was MINE! Her having a disability made no differance to me and she has rewarded me with lots of love and lessons that every human needs to learn. The most important lesson she taugh me is NEVER get up until you accomplish your goals, no matter who thinks you can't accomplish them. She is one brave determined little girl!

Oh Laura...the article makes it sound like Amy should be able to adjust, and not like it should be getting worse!

All I can think of is a good Omega 3 oil that is supposed to help the brain...does your vet have any ideas?

Darling Amy - You are loved, so stay here with your meowmie! Amy is a beautiful girl!

hugs
