Why is my cat suddenly losing balance and coordination? Is it serious?

Question

Can Cerebrellar Hypoplasia come on suddenly? Pet's info: Cat | American Curl | Female | 3 lbs

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

No, they are born with this condition and the effects of it would be apparent right away as a kitten. If you are suddenly noticing a lack of coordination, then I would be concerned about some other condition affecting the central nervous system and would recommend that Scruff be seen by a veterinarian right away. These conditions can happen from an infection, toxin, blood imbalance, hypoglycemia, or trauma. In either case, it has the potential to be life-threatening without early intervention, so it's important that the cat be seen by a vet as soon as possible. I hope that helps and all is well with Scruff.
