It could be that George is suffering from a respiratory infection causing him to lose his meow and sound very hoarse. I would call the vet in the morning to make an appointment for him because it's been ongoing for a week. The vet can diagnose if he does have a respiratory infection, and may be able to prescribe medications to help him. Best of luck.
