Cerebellar Hypoplasia in Cats

Hello,
My cat Dexter has mild CH. It used to be quite bad when he was younger (he used to fall down a lot) but now that he's almost 1 you couldn't tell he's got CH unless you pet him on the back, then he tends to fall.
My other cat goes out everyday and Dexter is starting to show a lot of interest in the outside, and I don't know how long we'll be able to keep him in. I'd like to buy him a harness so we can "walk" him in the garden but I'm worried he won't be able to walk with it. Have you got any experience about CH cat going outside one way or another?
Thank you

I have a 1 year old female with mild to moderate cerebellar hypoplasia and was wondering if there is any link between feline CH and either an inability to gain weight or develop muscle mass. When she first came to us she had worms (This was around 1 to 3 months) but was too young for any sort of deworming medication. Nowadays she is extremely picky about the environment she eats in and what she eats...and although we've made some much needed adjustments I still don't see any significant improvements when it comes to her weight gain. We have lots of animals so I wanted to get a confirmation before I take her to the vet for testing. Even when she eats it seems like she can only manage to consume small portions. It's seems to have gotten worse as she's aged. When she was a kitten she would eat a lot and seemingly not gain any weight. Now she is eating very little and while she isn't losing weight I don't think she is at a healthy weight for her size or age. I am aware that the causes could be mental and do have to note that she has some signs of OCD and anxiety.

I have a 10 week old, mixed breed kitten, who, at the age of about 3 weeks suddenly flopped over and lost all coordination. He is one of four kittens in the litter. One passed away at 1 week, the other 2 are fine. It looks like one breed may have been either a Seal Point Siamese or a Himalayan. At first I thought my grandson's service dog stepped on him, but now I'm thinking he may have CH. He has difficulty walking, balancing and controlling his head. He does use the litter box by leaning against the sides but he has to eat lying down. I was wondering if an Assisi Loop would help him.

My cat can not use her back legs, what
should I do? I first thought she got injuried, but her it hapoend the same with her sister, just not as severe. I think she has CH, but I do not k ow what should I do.

Hello, good day.
I'm Dimitri contacting you from Athena, Hellas - Greece.
Without any intention to become bothering, i'd like you to read the following and also ask somethings, please:
I own a CH Cat, her name (Female) is Cerebellum. If we get the chance i'll send you pictures in the upcoming emails; cerebellum was born by a stray Cat around my neighbor who's well and fine doin' and around 3 and a half, years old now nearly. Had several births, 2 prior cerebellum, all kittens fine. gave births again and the fifth will be soon i estimate. cerebellum was the only one to survive out of total 5 kittens 1 year ago.. As said above, i do not have intention to bother but if possible, i'll look forward to further communication. The CAT is Severe level by veterinarian perspective and judgment. However, after all this full year and despite she's frankly speaking an ultimate add-on weight, please help stray out some things.
Should i start with giving a prescription to her?
She has sometimes epelepsia symptoms as well. She has superior level of understanding and communicating however, she naturally needs something to little bit boost her up. Is there anything that can be done?

thank you for your attention.

Thank you

I would like to ask if it is possible for a cat to develop cerebellar hypoplasia later on in life. My cat has suddenly began being unable to walk regularly and sometimes falls over when trying to stand. I would like to know what may be the cause of this and if this may just be some kind of physical injury. He does not seem to have any apparent injury.
Thank you so much.

We found 2 kittens outside in the snow about 2 weeks ago( They are very small kittens. I think they are about 2 weeks old. When they walk around they walk funny any often flop to the side and are shaky. Sometimes their bottoms look like it will flip over their head and they dont use their back legs properly. My roomate thinks that maybe they are just young and will outgrow it...I think it is Cerebellar Hypolasia. How can we know for sure without it costing an arm and a leg? We are on a fixed income. Thank you for your help!

Good Afternoon,
I have a 3-yr old female cat with a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia. She is fully functional, but has been peeing outside of the litter box under stress. I rescued her and her "normal" brother when they were 6 months old. I have since added another male who turned out to be extremely aggressive towards her and has attacked her & made her scream (no injuries) so I keep them separated. Now her brother tries to be domineering by bullying her a little bit. My question is would she be better off as a solo cat in a household where she gets undivided attention and doesn't always have to be on guard or is it detrimental to separate her from her brother? I did a trial run for only a couple of days at a woman's very quiet home and she seemed well adjusted and very content and in peace with undivided love but I don't know the mind of a cat). I know that the woman absolutely fell in love with her. Also, would her brother adjust ok without her? She is totally stressed in my home because of the aggressive male. I just want to do right by everyone. I'm having a really hard time with this since I love her so much as I do all of my cats, but there is too much tension right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you kindly!
