My cat is losing his voice and makes funny noises when he breathes. I took him to two...



There can be multiple reasons for voice changes in a cat and the most common are laryngeal inflammation, infection, laryngeal paralysis or cancer. There are a couple options left although they may have already been done. In many cases, the throat needs to be looked at under anesthesia to get a complete view of the larynx and to assess it for paralysis. Hopefully your cat's oral exam was done under sedation or anesthesia, if not that is one step I would recommend. You also didn't mention using any anti-inflammatories in your cats; this would be another option to ask your veterinarian about as it could help. Hope this info helps and that you find out what's causing the changes in your cat's breathing and voice.
