What is cerebral hypoplasia in cats?
A cat with CH often falls down and has trouble walking or cannot seem to walk at all. CH in cats is non-progressive, meaning it does not get worse with age.
Cerebellar Hypoplasia occurs when the cerebellum, the part of the brain which controls fine motor skills and coordination, is not completely mature at birth.
Feline cerebellar hypoplasia is a non-progressive, non-contagious
neurological condition that results in walking and balance problems.
Causes. There are several bacterial infections and viral infections such as feline panleukopenia, caused by feline parvovirus (while in utero), that can result in the disorder in both cats and dogs.
The disease can also be caused by malnutrition, poisoning, injury or general accidents during development in the fetus.
