My cat abruptly lost her voice, without any other symptoms. She literally was fine this morning and within a couple hours. She still hasn't any other symptoms. I don't know what to do.

Do I need to take her to a vet. She was just fixed and examined by a vet and I've had her less then a week. Could stress of a new home or the tube in her throat from being fixed be the problem or could it be worse. She plays has no fever acts fine eats and drinks fine

What can I do to help my cat. He's been going outside lately during this cold weather and now he has a easy meow and a cough

He has No other symptoms and no signs of trauma, he's an indoor cat with no other animals in the house, He was fine Wednesday the 11th of November when we went on vacation and on Monday the 16th his meow sounded a bit hoarse.

Leeloo is an indoor/outdoor cat living in countryside environment. She was exposed to heavy rain 6 days ago. Her meow went raspy 4 days ago and began to lessen every day and now she barely can be heard. Since I first noticed her meow going hoarse, she has been trying to swallow something that comes up to her mouth. I am not sure if there is anything in her mouth but it looks like there might be some liquid (like saliva) and she swallows it. This has been happening since the first day I noticed her meow going hoarse. I saw her vomiting two times with some liquid. However, when she gags for vomiting, usually there is nothing comes out. She eats dry food but not much canned food. She drinks water. In the first day, I tried to give her treat biscuits in the first day but she didn't eat. Today she had two. Her eyes are slightly watery, her nose is dry but I don't think the temperature is too high. I don't let her go outdoors and except eating and drinking, she mostly sleeps and otherwise she wants to go outdoors and stand in front of the door. I am thinking of observing her a couple of days more and if nothing improves with her voice or swallowing action, I will take her a vet. Do you think this is a good idea or should I take her ASAP? Thanks in advance, Burak

My cat can't meow. He just opens his mouth and no sound comes out. His eyes don't have much discharge in them. He is sleeping more often and his eating and drinking haven't change. His breathing has sounded a little raspy and he doesn't want to be touched. What should I do?

Hi there, does anybody have an update or conclusion? Our male 5-year old has had something puzzling for last week. Lots of excess saliva, licking lips (but not in the stressed-out way), spitting up clear froth with none of the convulsions or hacking that one associates with hairballs. No vomiting of food. Long periods of being withdrawn and in physical discomfort alternating with being more like himself. He's been eating, drinking, and toileting. The vet gave him a shot for nausea a few days ago, and he's stopped with the saliva since, but now had a sort of wheeze. Most worryingly, he's the most vocal cat in the world, and he hasn't said anything in the whole time. His purr has come back over the last few days as he's come back to himself more, but he doesn't talk anymore. A few days ago when I was taking him for his nausea shot, I thought he was retching in his cat box, but after a while I realized that he was actually trying (and failing) to miaow to me. Again, he's usually super-vocal when he's in the car, let's me know every few seconds that he hates it. We got a new kitten about 7-8 weeks ago and they get on GREAT, they play together loads, and when the adult has had enough he goes off. Not a stressful relationship, they search out each others company a lot, and cuddle. But some of the symptoms mentioned above seem to chime with his, and we do have a new kitten in the house (although its about 2 months rather than 2 weeks). I'm wondering if anybody has any kind of medical update from a vet? Thanks!

So I brought in a pair of kittens about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Sisters from the same mother. They're both 10 1/2 weeks old now and my older cat is about 5 years old. One of the kittens came to us with a hoarse meow. She's quite vocal and very active and eats really well. Our older cat wasn't too pleased about her new sisters and was constantly hissing and grumbling at them. (She is still working on it but she is getting better) Now, the kitten with the hoarse meow still has the hoarse meow and is still active and loves eating and playing, but now my 5 year old cat is hoarse and less talkative. Nothing else has really changed in her except that shes getting closer to the kittens. Is it possible the one kitten came with something? The other kitten is perfectly healthy aside from being a tad thin even though she eats well. I should probably add that all are strictly indoor cats and never ever go outside and the kittens came from someone whose cats had kittens and needed to be homed. I'm fairly sure no worms or parasites are involved as I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary in the litter box.

This is wild! After I brought in a kitten my 2 older cats lost their meow! Not sick. Its so strange and also the outdoor stray we feed also? Somethings going on. I thought I would check if anyones cat has lost meow and then I bump into this forum! We need to stay on top of this!
