Why is my cat not meowing and acting painful around his head?

If your cat is otherwise acting normal and eating fine I wouldn’t worry too much about this. Keep an eye on your cat and watch for drooling any swelling or soreness in the mouth or any reluctance to eat. If you notice any of the signs then you may want to have her checked out. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

Tommy is experiencing very general symptoms of disease, these symptoms could fit almost any internal condition, maybe he is suffering from nausea due to a gastrointestinal disease and maybe he is in pain, from the symptoms described it's very hard to know. i would recommend taking him to the vet as soon as possible in order to get him checked, if he doesn't show any other obvious symptoms during the examination, a blood test and possibly an ultrasound will be needed in order to try and find out what is wrong with Tommy.

It sounds as though Tommy may be in pain if he is unable to walk normally, refusing to eat, and hissing. Cats often isolate themselves when they are experiencing pain. It would be best to take Tommy to a vet for a physical exam and any necessary diagnostic tests to try to determine why he is experiencing these issues so that proper treatment can be started. I hope that he's feeling better soon!

Hi there. Thank you for using PetCoach! Great question! Most likely Toby has a mild upper respiratory infection. Sometimes all you notice is a hoarse meow or a change in the sound of the meow and nothing else (like sneezing, ocular discharge, etc). I would suggest you give him a lysine supplement to help boost his immune system. https://www.amazon.in/Optixcare-L-Lysine-Chews-60-count/dp/B00F410QHW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1516116386&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=lsyine If this doesn't help or he gets worse then I would recommend you get Toby to your vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hello, sorry to hear about Thomas. As long as he is otherwise acting like his normal self now that you are back, (eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and having normal activity) then I would monitor at home to see if his voice returns. However, if you think Thomas is showing additional signs of illness, especially if he is not eating or if he is having a hard time chewing/ingesting his food the I would have him evaluated immediately. Ensure he has adequate food, water and that he is using the bathroom regurlarly. Best of luck and hope this helps.

I’m so sorry to hear about Tommy! It sounds like he could have an infection, kidney disease, or a host of other possible ailments. Any kitty who has been acting this way for 3 days needs to see the vet sooner rather than later. Your vet will likely recommend some bloodwork to help determine what is wrong and offer some treatments to help him feel better. Best of luck to you and Tommy!

Vomiting and increased vocalizations can sometimes indicate pain or distress. This could be due to GI upset, underlying illness, etc. If the symptoms continue, worsen, or you see additional issues such as increased vomiting, attempting to urinate or defecate but can't, loss of appetite, etc, then it would be best to seek veterinary care ASAP to find the underlying issue.
