6 razões porque seu gato perdeu seu Meow

 Por jaime em 28 Aug 2014 |
70Comentários)
Se o seu gatinho normalmente vocal de repente se tornou um pouco rouco você provavelmente está se perguntando o que causou este silêncio súbito ...

1. Meowing prolongado
Às vezes, seu gato acaba de meed silenciar por um pouco. Talvez tenha sido durante a noite ou enquanto você esteve no trabalho, mas em qualquer caso, seu meow deve voltar ao normal depois de um pouco de tempo.

2. Raiva
A raiva causa rouquidão, por isso, se você acha que houve mesmo uma pequena chance de seu gato estar em contato com um animal raivoso levá-los ao veterinário imediatamente para que eles possam investigar.

3. Infecção Respiratória Superior
Infecções respiratórias superiores (URI), que muitas vezes resulta em laringite, pode causar rouquidão. Além de rouquidão, se o seu gato está exibindo um corrimento nasal, olhos lacrimejantes, espirros, falta de apetite, letargia, ou descarga amarela ou verde dos olhos ou nariz, levá-los ao veterinário para medicamentos como antibióticos podem ser prescritos.
 
4. Hyperthyroidism
Hipertireoidismo ou glândulas tiróide hiperativa, é uma doença comum em gatos mais velhos que podem causar rouquidão juntamente com perda de peso. Se você suspeita que esta é a causa para a falta de seu gato de meow, levá-los ao veterinário para exames de sangue podem ser realizados.

5. Paralisia laríngea
Isto é, quando o dano ao nervo da laringe ou caixa de voz é causado impedindo que ele funcione corretamente quando seu gato deseja respirar ou meow. É uma condição grave que requer atenção médica imediata. Os sintomas de acompanhamento incluem: tosse, perda de peso, dificuldade em comer e luta para respirar.

6. Crescimentos
Crescimentos podem desenvolver na garganta, particularmente as cordas vocais, causando tumores benignos ou pólipos - no entanto, às vezes pode resultar em câncer de garganta. Os sintomas junto com rouquidão incluem: som vocal alterado, espirros, tosse e infecções de ouvido persistentes. Se você é suspeito que seu gato tem crescimentos em desenvolvimento - levá-los ao veterinário para um diagnóstico (muitas vezes através de uma biópsia) pode ser dada.

Acid was not mentioned. Picking up your cat and moving her around is like having a 30 foot man pick us up. Acid tossed up to the throat is the #1 reason for hoarseness in humans besides smoking

Umm, não, John. Não é assim que a anatomia humana felina ou humana funciona. Se fosse tão fácil para o ácido do estômago viajar até a garganta, você estaria queimando seu esôfago toda vez que você pousou. Lmao, "ácido". Onde as pessoas vêm com este BS?

Dave...yes...it IS uncommon to the degree tat John was saying. His whole comment had absolutely zero basis in reality. By the way...acid reflux does not come from laying on your stomach or with cats, being picked up. I honestly don't know which comment was more ignorant..yours and John's. Suffice it to say, it was a close race.

Meus gatos 7 e gosto do seu gato tem agido como ele. Embora eu pensasse que ele tinha sido atacado por um cachorro ontem à noite, como ele tinha vagabundo ao redor de seu pescoço e feeds todo em seu fundo com a voz rouca. Eu o levei ao veterinário hoje e consegui tudo claro, mas esta noite sua garganta parece estar incomodando ele o que me preocupa: / Eu vou mantê-lo atualizado, talvez ele tenha sido envenenado: (eu tenho 3 outros gatos na casa todos Agindo bem hmm

I have 4 older male cats. The one that goes outside the most, began coughing like he had something in his throat. He then lost his voice. The other 3 are following suit. They are loosing their voices as well. No runny noses and they are all eating and drinking, No weight loss. Does anyone know what would cause this?

Meu gato tem 10 agora, mas é excelente forma. Ele esteve nas guerras recentemente, principalmente devido a uma infecção ruim em seu sistema respiratório e bolas de peles. Uma combinação de drogas e poções levou-o de volta ao seu eu habitual.

No entanto, ele perdeu seu mae, ele ainda ronrona e pode fazer sons, mas são tensos. Ele recuperou um agora, ele voltou. Eu tenho algumas teorias, mas não todas as quais posso colocar qualquer loja. Ele come bem e está muito feliz e brincalhão. Ele, como todos os gatos, tem uma personalidade muito individual e ele está exibindo todas as suas peculiaridades usuais. Isso é reconfortante, pois não acho que esteja com dor ou nada. Eu o fiz verificando recentemente pelo nosso veterinário e ele tinha uma nota de saúde limpa. Talvez seja um jogo de espera. Como eu, ele não é tão jovem quanto ele costumava ser, então talvez ele leve apenas tempo. Continuarei a monitorar seu bem-estar. Esperando por algo clicar. Um comentário anterior sobre esse tópico me deu uma certa garantia de que eu não estava sozinho.

Meu gato de 2 anos sempre foi muito vocal, mas hoje notei que seu miau era muito diferente. Ela parece rouca. Introduzimos recentemente um novo gatinho na casa e meu gato de 2 anos não o levou muito bem. Sempre que ele se aproximava, ela sibilou e fugiu quase. Uma semana, eles parecem grandes e podem ser encontrados jogando. Será que o silvo por uma semana é o motivo pelo qual o seu migo é diferente? ?

Isso também aconteceu com meu gato e eu vim aqui procurando respostas, feliz por saber que pode ser uma coisa! Pensei que era um momento estranho que perdeu sua voz cerca de 2-3 semanas depois que o gatinho chegou. Ainda feliz e comendo e está ficando bem o suficiente com a gatinha que mega o suficiente para pelo menos dois gatos ... Alguém sabe por que isso aconteceria? É psicológico ou físico?

We took in a severely malnourished cat about two weeks ago. When she first came she couldn't meow it was just a croak. Now today she sounds like a regular cat when she meows. Can her being malnourished have caused her to not meow properly? She was skin and bones and was losing fur also. Her bald spots are now filing in and she spends less time sleeping and now grooms herself and comes up for attention.

I have 2 4month old female kittens (siblings). One named Nahla is very vocal, always chortling, purring, mewing when she wants affection and MEOWING very loudly with a little kitten voice at any complaint or need. She is very smart and will meow in her usual high tone, and lead me where she wants me to go until I realize what she needs. Last night and today, I heard the weirdest sounding meow. It is lower and slightly husky, almost like a chortle or a coo. Could she be entering adolescence? Is she in heat? Or should I be concerned. She is eating, drinking, playing and being her usual bossy self. If anything she has been more cuddly the past day or so.

My Violet had these symptoms and the vet thought it was an allergy. I put her on Allegra. I should have insisted on tests when after a month there was no improvement. She has lung cancer. My other kitty has just developed hoarseness after a plane trip (in cabin).

I'm worried and will get him to the vet right away. I was hoping to find some shimmer of hope here but it seems going to the vet really is the best option.

Good luck to all the kitties and those who love them who need it.

One of my cats became hoarse, then within same day lost her voice. She is a tiny cat, gets cold easily. The only thing that changed is that she slept all night in front of a space heater - we switched out the space heater for a warm air humidifier, and her voice is back. Hope this helps some folks if their cats appear perfectly normal one day, then just lose their voice the next, with no other symptoms.

Lynda Lovejoy, se o seu gato ainda ficar com frio facilmente, pode ser necessário verificar a tiróide, pelo que entendo que a perda da voz e a sensação de frio facilmente são sintomas do hipertiroidismo. Eu estou querendo saber se a voz voltou para o bem ou não.

My cat little bear was almost 17, he started to problems eating, and was starting to loose weight. He had a very quiet meow like a whisper for a few days, I went to the vet and they informed me he had a tumour on his neck. I unfortunately had to put him down yesterday, because they had no guarantee that any of the medications would help his tumour go down to the point where he could eat again. Worse complications would arise with his organs if he wasn’t eating. I couldn’t watch him suffer anymore. :(

Ela geralmente tem um miau muito alto que chama sua atenção e uma vez que você começa a acariciá-la, ela começará a ronronar. Mas tenho notado ultimamente que ela só mia sempre que você a toca, mas em vez de seu normal alto miau, é um miado muito gentil que soa como se ela estivesse com dor? Muito confuso e muito preocupado

Eu tenho um gato de 7 anos de idade, Reggie, que foi diagnosticado no ano passado com Feliv, que é leucemia .. Semana atrás, ele agiu diferente não queria ser tocado, dormia escondido, pronunciado engolir, letárgico, não comeu como muito .... isso foi em 3 dias e quase levou ao veterinário, mas deu-lhe alguns amoxitabs, antibiótico, mas apenas dois. Ele estava melhor, mas seu miau se foi! Está de volta, mas diferente. Gatos com leucemia, seus sintomas imunológicos podem ser comprometidos e alguns ficam doentes mais. Se ele continuar me deixando diferente, definitivamente vou levá-lo ao veterinário! Acima, foi mencionado CÂNCER DE GARGANTA. Esta é uma preocupação para mim agora !!

Our cat normally has a great voice, but after we brought her new "sister" home, it's hoarse. I really hope she's not sick, and it is just a result of them playing/fighting and snarling/hissing/growling at each other.

My 18+yr old siamese cat has a cough and can no longer meow, and we all know how loud and vocal they can be. I took him to the vet, xray was clear, heart is slightly enlarged but not enough to concern the vet. He has gas in his intestines. Got tons of meds but I'm concerned that it is some kind of growth in his airway. Any thoughts as to what else could be causing this. Vet was talking about getting him scoped under anesthesia but at his advanced age it probably isn't a good idea.

Nobody here has described my cat's scenario, which is that two days ago she was seriously attacked by another cat and has had a deep throaty meow ever since. She was almost lifeless following the attack but the vet can find nothing wrong with her. She now seems fine apart from her voice - I find it quite distressing but the vet is not overly concerned. Just wanted to let everyone know that this is another reason for cats losing their voice, and you might not realise your cat's been attacked.

My vet found nothing wrong with them he said it could be psychological because of the new kitten I introduced to the family and he has a very faint meow and they could be mimicking him... They were tested for the herpes and were all clear so I'm not too sure lol... Hopefully your cat is just having a reaction to the flea meds!!!

Hi my 12 year old cat has lost her voice for over a month now. She purrs but nothing else, her breathing is also louder and more frequent ,she has a thyroid problem and has medication for it, she doesn’t seem in any pain,I think there is a problem with her throat but she’s still eating and drinking ok. I have spoken to my vet who said leave her see if it comes back which it hasn’t. I don’t want her messed about as she lost her right back leg in an accident 9 years ago. She seems happy goes in and out when she likes but I’m worried about her all the same.Anyone got any advice please ?

I have a Male cat that was once the neighborhood stray and very malnourished. I began feeding him and caring for him about 3 years ago. Even though he trusts me to an extent he will never allow me to pick him up and hes very Leary of everything including me at times. So needless to say he hasn't been to a veterinarian. He's fattened up and was eating until about 4 days ago. He has lost his appetite for his normal food but will eat soft food here and there. He refuses go drink water and loves milk but now he won't drink that either. He's salivating and drooling and has lost his meow and seems to be trying to clear his throat of a hairball but nothing comes out and I have also noticed his tongue is out more than usual. He's up and moving around but not behaving like his normal love and attention starved self...which he's not deprived of either of the two. I believe he's an American long haired main coon so he's pretty good sized boy and I can already see some weight loss and I'm EXTREMELY worried about him. I have tried getting mobile vets to come and check him but they don't come to my area because we are 15 minutes out of their radius.

I think it's really strange how there's an obvious correlation between bringing a new kitten home and then having your older cat lose their meow. Between this forum and another couple sites... I've completely lost count. It has to be almost 30 now that have experienced this!! What is going on?! And I have yet to see a vet give an answer so that's troubling. I took Bruce (13) to the vet yesterday and they couldn't determine any reason to why he's lost his voice but he wasn't listening to me so I am getting another opinion and he has another appointment tomorrow and I'll be up late now investigating and counting how many people have had this same thing.

They wanted me to get him vaccinated but I am waiting on that and now his eye is goopy and looks infected so that's two symptoms of upper respiratory infection but I have an appointment in about an hour to have him looked at again. I'll know a little more after that. So it is a good thing I decided to wait on the vaccinations because right now his immune system is working on this.
I don't know if it's stress or this infection. I know that doesn't help yet but is your cat eating and drinking?

11 months ago, my then 10 yr old cat Ray suddenly and unexpected lost his voice. The vet couldn't find anything wrong with him, and he remained an apparently healthy, active, and happy (but quiet) cat until three weeks ago. Then he started to snore quiet loudly while he slept. His voice actually returned, albeit subdued, for about a day, and then he started wheezing and making a variety of noises while breathing. Antibiotics and steroids didn't have any effect and the condition worsened very, very rapidly, to the point that the vet felt that Ray would not recover from being anesthetized for scoping his airway or undergoing surgery. Within a matter of days he was struggling to breath. He has not been able to eat nor drink anything for almost a week. Today, we had to put him to sleep.
If your cat suddenly loses his voice and it doesn’t return after a few months, be concerned, no matter how healthy he appears to be otherwise.

So sorry for your loss, we have just had the same with our cat, she lost her voice about 2 years ago, she would still make a sound but it was husky and she started snoring but otherwise was happy and healthy, the vet said it was likely her age, she was 14 at the time. Just over the last few months her breathing got laboured and she stopped eating, they found a mass but couldn't do a biopsy because they didn't think she would survive it, she was on steroids which helped for a while but we had to have her put down on Wednesday.
I now wonder if her voice change was the beginning of all of this. I agree with you, if your cat's voice changes don't leave it, keep pushing the vet for answers.

Laura mentioned above that she thought it was strange that so many people on this site and others had a cat who became hoarse or lost their voice after bringing a new kitten home. I rescued 4 kittens six weeks ago and now my 6 yr old cat's voice is raspy. These kitten's eyes were goopy and some were matted shut. Some were sneezing. This is caused by the feline herpes virus. The symptoms are infected goopy eyes (that can lead to blindness if untreated) lots of sneezing, congested stuffed up nose, coughing. They can have just one mild symptom and it clears up so owners may not really notice. Most cats including indoor only cats have been exposed to the herpes virus usually when they are kittens which they catch from their mother. Even if the Mother had no symptoms. Even though human herpes and cat herpes produce completely different symptoms there are 2 similarities. Stress can cause flare up of symptoms and it is for life.

Cats are creatures of habit. Even the slightest change can cause them stress. Moving the furniture around and having visitors can cause stress. You bring a kitten home your cat is stressed.You bring a kitten home carrying the virus or your cat was exposed as a kitten but the virus has been lying dormant with the added stress is a recipe to make your cat ill. Sometimes if they got it as kittens they have a better immunity to it when they are adults or if they were Vaccinated against it they may only have mild symptoms such as a sore throat and/or hoarse voice. The herpes vaccination does not prevent them from catching it but can, key word CAN not will reduce severity of symptoms.

For the ones whos cats voices become hoarse, raspy or they lost it after you brought a kitten or cat home the answer is yes that is likely the reason due to stress and feline herpes virus. If your cat goes outdoors they can be exposed to other cats with the herpes virus or a deadly virus. Feline Vaccinations don't protect 100%. Keep your cats inside. Feline Herpes Virus and Calcivirus is akin to the human cold or flu. It is not deadly unless your cat is immune compromised due to feline leukemia or other disease. Vaccinating a strictly indoor cat for a non deadly virus that can't even be caught unless exposed to a cat with the virus puts posion in their bodies unnecessarily which can cause health problems down the road as well.

Interesting that you comment your older cat suddenly lost its voice after a new kitten was brought into the home. My13 year old has done the same thing, cant even meow, can purr but that's all. She had been having trouble with hairballs so I thought that was it. Took her to vet and he couldn't find anything Gave her a steroid shot, antibiotic shot, some laxatone.. Bloodwork looked good for an older cat. So we will see what happens.

My cat has lost her voice and we think she was in a yowling fight with another cat. I really want to investigate on how it started. She started with a croaky voice the lost her voice

My cat is currently 6 months old and she has all of her energy and has been eating/drinking however, she has absolutely no voice. Sometimes she's able to get a very faint meow but it's barely anything. I can't afford another vet bill, unfortunately.. It's been about two weeks since she's lost her voice, I don't know if this is common and to wait it out or if I need to take action. I'm not extremely worried because her personality is intact but she's not at 100 percent. I thought she could have an upper respiratory infection because she has been sneezing but idk.

My cat lives in a barn. And is petrified to get in a car. So how do I get her to a vet? She has lost her voice.

My cat has been in heat, she was meowing aggressively then yesterday she came by me and her meow was weak, meek like a whiny, soft meow. A neighbor suggested to take her to the animal hospital because it could be serious. But i disagree, considering it's the first time it's ever happened. Same with my dog, when i leave her home alone for a day she'll be hoarse by the evening then fine 1 or 3 days later. My question is...Is my neighbor overreacting or am I too relaxed about my cats hoarse, week meow? She still eats, plays and sneak attacks the dog, her normal self just not so vocal.

Anyone deal with cat that’s lost their voice. Seems hard for her to swallow. She’s been sick since December. I took her to vet and they did blood work and said “here give her every thing that might be responsible for why she’s anemic. If it doesn’t work then she probably has some type of lymphoma that’s untreatable. If you wanna take her to a specialist you can but it’s expensive”. So:… I’ve had a hard time giving her medication because she bit me and I went to ER and now im nervous. I kinda need some advice. Anyone been in my shoes?

My cat has lost its meow. It’s been two years since he had laryngitis still cannot meow. Did he possibly damage his laryngitis trying to meow when he was sick?

We got our cat when she was about 8 weeks old we have had her since November. She has had no meow since the day we got her it always sounds very weak and almost like a hiss (but it’s not) her purr sounds the same way. Does anyone know what this maybe or have suggestions

Guys, discarding the most serious possibilities, which is normal for a veterinary/pets page to mention ($), it 's highly likely that some cats lose their meow just for overusing it: basically a stress of their "vocal" chords. In my case, my cat is perfectly healthy except for this loss of voice: he can even do his other typical "crying sound" (albeit considerably less powerful than before) and purring. If you see the cat is healthy in every other way nut this, my advice will be to just go with the flow. I'll try to keep you updated in case he recovers his meow.

It was a fascinating read! I never realized there could be so many underlying reasons for a cat losing its meow—very helpful insights for cat owners to keep in mind.
