6 raisons pour lesquelles votre chat a perdu leur Meow

 Par jaime le 28 août 2014 |
70Commentaires)
Si votre chat normalement vocal est soudainement devenu un peu enroué vous vous demandez probablement ce qui a causé ce silence soudaine ...

1. Miaulement prolongé
Parfois, votre chat vient de meindre silencieux pendant un moment. Peut-être qu'il a été pendant la nuit ou pendant que vous avez été au travail, mais en tout cas, leur meow devrait revenir à la normale après un peu de temps.

2. La rage
La rage provoque l'enrouement donc si vous pensez qu'il ya eu même une légère chance de votre chat étant en contact avec un animal enragé les prendre au vétérinaire immédiatement afin qu'ils puissent enquêter.

3. Infection respiratoire supérieure
Infections respiratoires supérieures (URI), qui se traduit souvent par une laryngite, peut provoquer une enrouement. En plus de l'enrouement, si votre chat est l'affichage d'un nez qui coule, les yeux larmoyants, les éternuements, le manque d'appétit, la léthargie, ou jaune ou vert décharge des yeux ou du nez, les prendre au vétérinaire afin de médicaments tels que les antibiotiques peuvent être prescrits.
 
4. Hyperthyroidism
L'hyperthyroïdie ou les glandes thyroïdiennes hyperactives, est une affection commune chez les chats plus âgés qui peuvent causer enrouement ainsi que la perte de poids. Si vous pensez que c'est la cause du manque de miau de votre chat, les prendre au vétérinaire afin de tests sanguins peuvent être effectués.

5. Paralysie du larynx
C'est quand les lésions nerveuses du larynx ou boîte vocale est causé l'empêchant de fonctionner correctement lorsque votre chat veut respirer ou miauler. C'est une condition grave qui nécessite une attention médicale immédiate. Les symptômes d'accompagnement incluent: toux, perte de poids, difficulté à manger et luttant pour respirer.

6. Croissance
Les croissances peuvent se développer sur la gorge, en particulier les cordes vocales, causant des tumeurs bénignes ou des polypes - mais parfois, il peut entraîner un cancer de la gorge. Les symptômes ainsi que l'enrouement incluent: changement du son vocal, éternuements, toux et infections persistantes d'oreille. Si vous êtes suspect que votre chat a croissance en développement - les prendre au vétérinaire pour un diagnostic (souvent par une biopsie) peut être donné.

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

Hum, non, John. Ce n'est pas comme ça que fonctionne l'anatomie humaine ou féline. S'il était si facile pour l'acide gastrique de remonter jusqu'à la gorge, vous brûleriez votre œsophage chaque fois que vous vous coucheriez. Lmao, "acide". Où les gens viennent avec cette 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.

Mes chats 7 et comme votre chat ont agi comme lui. Bien que je pensais qu'il avait été attaqué par un chien hier soir, il avait bavardé autour de son cou et faisait tout autour de son bas avec la voix rauque. Je l'ai emmené chez le vétérinaire aujourd'hui et j'ai le clair, mais ce soir, sa gorge semble le déranger qui me inquiète: / Je vous tiendrai au courant, peut-être qu'il a été empoisonné :( J'ai 3 autres chats dans la maison tous Agissant 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?

Mon chat a 10 ans mais c'est une forme formidable. Il a été dans les guerres récemment, principalement en raison d'une mauvaise infection dans son système respiratoire et ses boules de fourrure. Une combinaison de drogues et de potions l'a ramené à son être habituel.

Cependant, il a perdu son maigreur, il ronronne encore et peut faire des sons, mais il est tendu. Il l'a récupéré maintenant, il est reparti. J'ai quelques théories, mais pas celles que je peux mettre n'importe quel magasin. Il mange bien et est très heureux et ludique. Lui, comme tous les chats, a une personnalité très personnelle et il affiche toutes ses facettes habituelles. C'est rassurant car je ne pense pas qu'il ait de la douleur ou quelque chose. Je l'avais vérifié récemment par notre vétérinaire et il avait un rapport de santé propre. C'est peut-être un jeu d'attente. Comme moi, il n'est pas aussi jeune qu'il l'était, alors peut-être que ça prend du temps. Je continuerai à surveiller son bien-être. En attendant que quelque chose clique. Un commentaire antérieur sur ce fil m'a donné une certaine assurance que je n'étais pas seul.

Mon chat a aussi dix ans. Il a déjà perdu son miaulement, nous sommes partis en vacances et il s'est mis à chercher et à nous appeler. Cependant, aujourd'hui c'est arrivé encore une fois sans raison particulière ... c'est parti et toute la journée. Le conseil ici ne m'aide pas vraiment car il a une malformation congénitale qui rend son nez tout coulant et ses yeux vraiment fluides mais ceux qui n'ont JAMAIS empêché son adorable miaulement odieux avant ...

Mon chat de 2 ans a toujours été très vocal, mais aujourd'hui, j'ai remarqué que son maquis était très différent. Elle semble rauque. Nous avons récemment introduit un nouveau chaton dans le ménage et mon chat de 2 ans ne l'a pas très bien porté. Chaque fois qu'il se rapproche, elle siffla et s'enfuit presque. Une semaine, ils semblent grands et peuvent être trouvés en jouant. Le sifflement d'une semaine serait-il la raison pour laquelle son maïs est différent? ?

This has also happened to my cat and I came on here looking for answers, glad to know it may be a thing! Thought it was weird timing she lost her voice about 2-3 weeks after kitten arrived. Still happy and eating and is getting on well enough with the kitten who meows enough for at least two cats... Does anybody know why this would happen? Is it psychological or physical?

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.

Un de mes chats est devenu enroué, puis le même jour a perdu sa voix. Elle est un chat minuscule, qui se refroidit facilement. La seule chose qui a changé, c'est qu'elle a dormi toute la nuit devant un radiateur - nous avons éteint le radiateur pour un humidificateur d'air chaud, et sa voix est de retour. J'espère que cela aidera certaines personnes si leurs chats semblent parfaitement normaux un jour, puis perdre leur voix le lendemain, sans autres symptômes.

Shelia Ann02 Nov 2017Reply
Lynda Lovejoy, si votre chat se refroidit facilement, vous devrez peut-être faire vérifier la thyroïde, d'après ce que je comprends, la perte de la voix et le rhume sont facilement les deux symptômes de l'hyperthyroïdie. Je me demande si la voix est revenue pour de bon ou pas.

It went from weak, to no noise at all, now voice is coming back. I'll keep eye out for his scat and see if I find another bunny.

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. :(

Donc, mon chat, un calicot aux cheveux longs, a soudainement ce genre de miaulement atténué. Elle a généralement un miaulement très fort qui attire votre attention et une fois que vous commencez à la caresser, elle commence à ronronner. Mais j'ai remarqué dernièrement qu'elle miaule seulement quand tu la touches, mais au lieu de son miaulement normal, c'est un miaulement doux qui sonne comme si elle souffrait?

J'ai un chat de 7 ans, Reggie, qui a été diagnostiqué l'année dernière avec Feliv, qui est la leucémie .. Il y a une semaine, il a agi différemment ne voulait pas être touché, dormi dans la clandestinité, prononcé avaler, léthargique, ne mange pas beaucoup ... cela a duré 3 jours et a presque pris pour vétérinaire mais lui a donné quelques amoxitabs, antibiotiques mais seulement deux. Il allait mieux mais son miaulement était parti! C'est de retour mais différent. Les chats atteints de leucémie, leur symptôme immunitaire peut être compromise et certains deviennent malades plus. S'il continue à miauler différemment, je vais certainement l'emmener chez le vétérinaire! Ci-dessus, il a été mentionné CANCER DE LA GORGE. C'est une préoccupation pour moi maintenant !!

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.

Like the rest of you two of my cats are experiencing raspy quiet meows where they normally had very loud and clear meows I introduced a kitten to our family about 3 weeks ago and noticed he had a very soft raspy meow didn't really think anything of it My other two we noticed their meow change about a week ago All three are going to the vets today when I get their diagnosis I will definitely leave a comment to try to help some of you out! I did however read up on Google that it is most likely feline herpes!

As soon as I get to the vet I will post my up date .

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.

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.
