Cerebellar Hypoplasia Gender: Female Approximate age: 10 years old Arrived From: Orange County Animal Control (NC) Arrival Day: March 2016 Bunny came to us from a local Animal Control. She was very lucky the shelter vet happens to be one of our supporters and contacted us. Bunny has congenital deformity called atrophic rhinitis, which makes her nose look like a bunny nose! She also has several symptoms of a Cerebellar Hypoplasia, but our vet believes it’s a mild case. Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) is a disorder found in cats and dogs that causes jerky movements, tremors and generally uncoordinated motions. In extreme cases, a cat may sometimes fall down and have trouble walking. CH occurs when the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls fine motor skills and coordination, is not completely mature at birth. It is commonly caused by a mother cat contracting or being vaccinated for the Panleukopenia virus while pregnant. Either of those stunts the cerebellum’s growth while kittens are in the womb. CH can also from trauma or malnutrition before birth. Bunny’s case is mild and doesn’t bother her at all! When she came to us we had her spayed and got her a dental procedure to fix her broken tooth. In 2017, Bunny developed seizures but continues to respond well to medicine to control them. Bunny is the queen of the House 2 lobby since she is not fond of other cats. She loves kitty toys, her special cat houses and going outside into our memorial garden or some sun (which is secure so she can’t wander off). 4/2016 She is very loving except she is not fond of other cats. She has now been spayed and had a dental to fix her broken tooth. All in all, she is in decent shape. She loves catnip toys. 2017 - She has developed seizures but is responding well to medication.
