My 2 yr old boxer/pit with CH does have tremors but doesn't appear to happen when he sleeps. I think they are stimulated when they are awake only. Ataxia just means unsteady movement and hypoplasia means underdeveloped. The ataxia can be present with other disorders but Cerebellar Ataxia is caused b...

You might want to take him to your vet for meds that will make him more comfortable i.e. Rimadly (carprofen is the generic and cheaper) that is an NSAID. Can also be taken with tramadol for pain. Do not give aspirin or other human pain meds. Want to certainly keep him comfortable in his later years.

I would love to have an MRI on Roy but I can't afford it. I work at a small animal practice and we don't have the capability to do that. We can just tell my his symptoms. He doesn't know any different and he is a very happy healthy guy. I do worry abt him injuring himself because of his clumsiness a...

What kind of dog is he? How big? He may have a disability but still deserves a loving home and a good life. He is blessed to have you.

I have a 1 yr old boxer mix with CH...Cerebellar Hypoplasia! He is and always will be a clumsy dog. His conditions will not improve. I have worked at an animal hospital for 14 yrs and this is what I have learned through the very trusted docs I work with. It is important that my Roy not ever get heav...

Roy is #57...he is young and we have waited to neuter him bc there is a theory that if you wait bc of the hormones it can be less of a chance of CCL injuries. He doesn't need that on top of CH. he will be getting neutered soon bc the docs I work with said to wait until he is 1 and he's almost there.

I'm not planning on doing an MRI. #1 I can't afford it and #2 I totally trust the vets I work with. Sure out of curiousity I'd love to do one but it's not necessary. To the lady with the Brussels griffon I would say that my Roy's symptoms do not come and go but in the research I've done on CH the ce...

I have a 11 month old boxer mix with CH and have wondered about arthritis and other issues coming up early bc of the way my Roy walks. There are a lot of good supplements and meds out there for pain/discomfort issues. I have been trying to keep him on a good supplement even though he is young to pro...

I adopted a boxer mix with CH...he is now 11 months old and does pretty well. He is very clumsy all the time. It doesn't come and go. When he gets running or very excited he is much more clumsy. His backend will jump up in the air or sometimes all four legs at a time. He will fall over but gets righ...

Thank you So much for your reply. I will look in the neuro board for other cases!!

I have a 11 month old boxer/pit mix that has Cerebellar Hypoplasia. It means that the cerebellum part of his brain is underdeveloped. I work with a rescue called Dire Straits Companion Animal Rescue and he was brought to the attention of our rescue bc of his special needs. He is very clumsy bc of hi...
