6 razones por las que su gato ha perdido su maullido

 Por jaime el 28 ago 2014 |
70Comentario (s)
Si su gatito normalmente vocal se ha convertido repentinamente en un poco ronco usted se pregunta probablemente qué ha causado este silencio repentino ...

1. Maullido prolongado
A veces, tu gato acaba de silbar por un momento. Tal vez ha sido durante la noche o mientras usted ha estado en el trabajo, pero en cualquier caso, su maullido debe volver a la normalidad después de un rato.

2. Rabia
La rabia causa la ronquera así que si usted piensa que ha habido incluso una ocasión leve de su gato que entra en contacto con un animal rabioso los toma al veterinario inmediatamente así que pueden investigar.

3. Infección Respiratoria Superior
Las Infecciones Respiratorias Superiores (URI), que a menudo resultan en laringitis, pueden causar ronquera. Además de la ronquera, si su gato está mostrando una nariz que moquea, ojos llorosos, estornudos, falta de apetito, letargo, o descarga amarilla o verde de los ojos o la nariz, llevarlos al veterinario para medicamentos como antibióticos se pueden recetar.
 
4. Hyperthyroidism
El hipertiroidismo o las glándulas tiroides hiperactivas, es una dolencia común en gatos más viejos que pueden causar la ronquera junto con pérdida del peso. Si sospecha que esto es la causa de la falta de maullido de su gato, llévelo al veterinario para que se realicen análisis de sangre.

5. Parálisis laríngea
Esto es cuando el daño del nervio de la laringe o de la caja de la voz se causa que le impide trabajar correctamente cuando su gato desea respirar o meow. Es una enfermedad grave que requiere atención médica inmediata. Los síntomas de acompañamiento incluyen: tos, pérdida de peso, dificultad para comer y luchar por respirar.

6. Crecimientos
Los crecimientos pueden desarrollarse en la garganta, particularmente las cuerdas vocales, causando tumores benignos o pólipos - sin embargo a veces puede dar lugar a cáncer de garganta. Los síntomas junto con la ronquera incluyen: sonido vocal cambiado, estornudos, tos y persistentes infecciones del oído. Si sospecha que su gato tiene crecimientos en desarrollo - llevarlos al veterinario para un diagnóstico (a menudo a través de una biopsia) se puede dar.

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

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.

Mis gatos 7 y como su gato ha estado actuando como él mismo. Aunque pensé que había sido atacado por un perro la noche anterior cuando él tenía babero alrededor de su cuello y los pies alrededor de su trasero con la voz ronca. Lo llevé al veterinario hoy y conseguí el todo claro pero esta noche su garganta parece molestarlo lo que me preocupa: / Lo mantendré actualizado, tal vez él ha sido envenenado :( Tengo 3 gatos en la casa todos Actuando bien 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?

Mi gato es 10 ahora pero gran forma. Ha estado en las guerras recientemente, principalmente debido a una mala infección en su sistema respiratorio y pelotas. Una combinación de drogas y pociones lo ha vuelto a su auto habitual.

Sin embargo, ha perdido su maullido, Todavía ronronea y puede hacer sonidos, pero el son tensas. Lo recuperó y ahora se ha ido otra vez. Tengo algunas teorías, pero no cualquier que pueda poner cualquier tienda. Él come bien y es muy feliz y juguetón. Él, como todos los gatos, tiene una personalidad muy individual y está mostrando todas sus peculiaridades habituales. Esto es tranquilizador ya que no creo que él está en el dolor o nada. Lo hice revisar recientemente por nuestro veterinario y él tenía una nota de salud limpia. Tal vez sea un juego de espera. Como yo, no es tan joven como solía ser, así que tal vez sólo lleva tiempo. Continuaré monitoreando su bienestar. Esperando que haga clic en algo. Un comentario anterior sobre este hilo me dio cierta seguridad de que no estaba solo.

Mi gato de 2 años siempre ha sido muy vocal pero hoy me di cuenta de que su maullido era muy diferente. Suena ronca. Recientemente introdujimos un nuevo gatito en el hogar y mi gato de 2 años no le tomó muy bien. Cada vez que se acercaba siseaba y se escapaba casi. Una semana en que parecen grandiosos y se puede encontrar jugando. ¿Sería el silbido de una semana la razón por la cual su maullido es diferente? ?

Esto también le ha sucedido a mi gato y vine aquí en busca de respuestas, ¡me alegra saber que puede ser una cosa! Pensé que era un momento extraño en el que perdió la voz unas 2-3 semanas después de que llegaran los gatitos. Todavía feliz y comiendo y se está llevando bastante bien con el gatito que muerde lo suficiente para al menos dos gatos ... ¿Alguien sabe por qué sucedería esto? ¿Es psicológico o 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, si tu gato aún se enfría con facilidad, es posible que necesites que te examinen la tiroides, por lo que entiendo, la pérdida de la voz y el resfriado son síntomas de hipertiroidismo. Me pregunto si la voz volvió para bien o no.

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. :(

Tengo un gato de 7 años, Reggie, que fue diagnosticado el año pasado con Feliv, que es leucemia. Hace una semana que actuó de manera diferente, no quería que lo tocasen, dormía escondido, pronunciaba tragar, letárgico, no comía como mucho ... esto continuó 3 días y casi lo tomé para veterinar pero le di algunos amoxitabs, antibióticos pero solo dos. ¡Él estaba mejor, pero su maullido ya no estaba! Está de vuelta pero diferente. Los gatos con leucemia, su síntoma inmune pueden verse comprometidos y algunos se enferman más. Si él sigue maullando diferente, ¡definitivamente lo llevaré a veterinario! Arriba, se mencionó GARGANTA DE CÁNCER. ¡Esto es una preocupación para mí ahora!

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...

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.

Well, I took Bruce in and got him on a health plan. 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.
