However, first of all, you have to examine pups very carefully from a very young age (starting by 5 - 6 weeks postnatal) to detect all the ones that «go normal», as some pups exhibiting unmistakeable choroidal
hypoplasia by 6 weeks old, will have no ophthalmoscopically detectable lesions by 9 weeks old.

Congenital primary hypothyroidism may result from one of various forms of thyroid dysgenesis (eg, athyreosis, thyroid
hypoplasia) or from dyshormonogenesis (usually an inherited inability to organify iodide).
Enamel
hypoplasia has been recognized as a dental condition in Italian Greyhounds, and 3 % of this population (22 dogs) were recorded as affected.
The most common defects in other species are as follows: cattle — ventricular septal defect, ectopic heart, and ventricular
hypoplasia; sheep — ventricular septal defect; pigs — tricuspid valve dysplasia, atrial septal defect, and subaortic stenosis; horses — ventricular septal defect, PDA, tetralogy of Fallot, and tricuspid atresia.
Other health problems include heritable lack of enamel (enamel
hypoplasia) and other dental issues, progressive retinal atrophy, glaucoma, legges perthes disease, luxating patellas, and hypothyroidism.
Enamel
hypoplasia was reported for 22 (3 %) of the dogs, and 27 (4 %) reported retained baby teeth.
Cerebellar
hypoplasia is impaired growth and development of the cerebellum during pregnancy.
In those animals with an equivocal change in basal hormone level, the responses to challenge by exogenous thyrotropin or adrenocorticotropin are subnormal, owing to
the hypoplasia or atrophy of the thyroid gland and adrenal cortex.
Clinical signs can be differentiated from cerebellar
hypoplasia, above, by the onset.
Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, or EPI, also referred to as Pancreatic
Hypoplasia or Pancreatic Acinar Atrophy (PAA), is a disease of maldigestion and malabsorption, which when left untreated eventually leads to starvation.
Use of trichlorfon during pregnancy can cause a congenital tremor in piglets due to both cerebellar
hypoplasia and hypomyelination.
These tests are for PRA, acute narrow angle glaucoma, and familial enamel
hypoplasia.
Cerebellar
hypoplasia has been described in many species.
Your puppy may have tapetal
hypoplasia, a genetic defect where the tapetum is missing or underdeveloped.
Cerebellar
hypoplasia is seen in kittens after in utero infection with feline panleukopenia virus (see Feline Panleukopenia).
See GENETICS: Inherited Neurological Disorders for the following disorders: Ataxia (Cerebella Abiotrophy) Canine Neuronal Lipofuscinosis (CCL & NCL) Cerebellar
Hypoplasia Congenital Myasthenia Gravis Deafness Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) Epilepsy - Hydrocephalus - Intervertebral Disk Disease Myasthenia Gravis Myopathy (X-Linked Muscular Dystrophy) Spina Bifida
Cerebellar
hypoplasia is seen in kittens after in utero infection with feline panleukopenia virus.
Carpets are going to be these cat's best friends since it will give them something to cling on to, so do not have your cat de-clawed, and put rugs on your hardwood floors if you've adopted a cat with Cerebellar
Hypoplasia.
The owner agrees never to breed carrier or affected dogs that may produce Progressive Retinal Atrophy or Collie Eye Anomaly / Choroidal
Hypoplasia.
A selective
hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis is also seen in dogs, and when combined with hydrocephalus and cyst - like dilatation of the fourth ventricle, the condition has been termed the Dandy - Walker syndrome, which may have a familial basis.
Cerebellar
hypoplasia has also been reported in Chow Chows and is seen in association with lissencephaly in Irish Setters and Wirehaired Fox Terriers.
A hereditary cerebellar
hypoplasia / dysplasia is seen in Hereford, Shorthorn, Ayrshire, and Angus calves.
Cerebellar
Hypoplasia is a non-progressive condition, but to get an official diagnosis, your veterinarian would have to perform an MRI and CT scan to rule out other conditions and diseases that look similar to Cerebellar
Hypoplasia.
Dogs like Blaze, an international rescue from the Cayman Islands, who arrived with his front left leg amputated at the wrist, and Mars, a handsome Pointer mix born with cerebellar
hypoplasia that reduced his neurologic functions and caused him to have uncoordinated movements and tremors.
Many cats with Cerebellar
Hypoplasia are not able to jump, but they can be fantastic climbers.
Cats with moderate Cerebellar
Hypoplasia will also have a noticeable head tremors and will probably be a climber rather than a jumper.
We also nurtured and fell in love with two very special kittens, Weeble and Tinsel, who both have Cerebellar
Hypoplasia, a neurological condition that compromises their coordination.
Choroidal

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency — sometimes called pancreatic acinar atrophy (PAA), pancreatic
