Cerebellar Hypoplasia in Kittens

                --------------------------------

                      General Information



Cerebellar hypoplasia is a defect in the brain of young kittens

that results in a loss of fine-motor coordination.  Affected

kittens have trouble walking and maintaining their balance.  It

is caused by infection of the kittens with feline distemper virus

shortly after birth, or infection while the kittens are still in

the mother's uterus.



                 Important Points in Treatment



There is no known cure for cerebellar hypoplasia.
