Yes, I do. My dog Teddy has Cerebellar Hypoplasia characterized by the presence of Intention Tremors. His condition is static and mild. There is no treatment for the disorder.
It is congenital but may not necessarily be due to genetics as many dogs can have this as a result of a birth injury or hypoxia shortly before birth.
It is very important to rule out the cause of any tremors or head bobbing that may be due to something other than Cerebellar Hypoplasia. A neurologist should be involved to determine what diagnostic tests are needed. In our case, Teddy also had seizures. We sought the involvement of a board certified neurologist and had Teddy undergo testing (MRI and spinal tap, as well as all kinds of blood work) in order to make sure we were not missing anything.
By the way, Teddy's tremors and head bobbing and unsteady gait were noted at 10 weeks old when I got him from his breeder and probably sooner. He is now just over 2 years old and living a normal life.
