https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/4558/does-anyone-know-much-about-cerebellar-hyperplasia We recently had a kitten brought in that someone had seen thrown out of a car right by our practice. It seems he may have cerebellar hyperplasia the vet has told me probably due to the mother having a feline infectious disease.

I have seen a few cats with this and one dog and they all lived perfectly normal lives. They do have poor coordination, balance and appear to constantly shake,wobble or bounce whislt still or moving but my college tutor had a beagle with it and she was able to go on normal walks and chased a ball (though she wobbled and ran on the spot before actually moving off!!) One of the vets at my practice has also like you just taken on a kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia and it is doing well, they don&#39;t get any better or any worse but sometimes excitement makes them more wobbly! Best of luck with your wee wobbler!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div style="CLEAR:both;"></div> [/quote]</p> <p>my college tutor had a beagle with it and she was able to go on normal walks and chased a ball (though she wobbled and ran on the spot before actually moving off!!) </p> <p>Johan - was your college tutor Louise from North Highland College in Thurso??
