Why is my senior cat losing her voice with breathing and runny eyes?

I'm sorry to hear Nala is having issues. Changes in "meow" or respiratory changes are concerning and should be evaluated by your regular veterinarian. Respiratory changes can be indicative of foreign material ingestion, heart issues, pneumonia, asthma, upper respiratory infections, or allergies, for example. I would recommend she be seen by her regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for her respiratory issues, have any necessary testing done (X-rays, bloodwork) and come up with an appropriate treatment plan if warranted. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear that Princess isn't feeling well. Her sneezing, coughing, lethargy and drooling could all be due to an upper respiratory infection caused by either a virus and/or bacteria. Many cats are chronically infected with herpesvirus and/or calicivirus, which can shed from time to time and cause respiratory signs and secondary bacterial infections. Princess' vet will be able to examine her and determine if she needs antibiotics or other medications. I hope that she's feeling better soon!

There are a few medical reasons for a change in voice in a cat, including upper respiratory infection, hyperthyroidism, nasopharyngeal polyps, and other oral concerns. I would recommend having Rosco examined by a vet to see if this could be the case.

It could be Blackie has a respiratory infection affecting her ability to meow. If she's congested, she won't eat as much. Cats like to smell their food, and if they can't smell it, they won't eat. Have her seen by a vet today. Best of luck.

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Sunshine probably has an upper respiratory infection, or cold. As this is a viral infection It will run its course in a week or so. As long as she's just quiet and resting, eating a drinking some then you do not need to bring her in. If she should stop eating, the eye and nose discharge turns green and she becomes very lethargic then she may have a secondary bacterial infection that would need to be treated by your veterinarian. Sunshine is an older cat so if she's not recovering well then don't wait too long to bring her for an exam. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sunshine.

It's possible Mineva has something ongoing such as a respiratory infection, kitty asthma, a heart or lung issue, etc so it is good you are bringing her to your vet as soon as you can. In the meantime, keeping her nose and eyes clear of any debris can help make breathing easier, as well as limiting her activity if moving and playing causes an episode. Making sure she is still eating and drinking is also a good idea. If she becomes very painful, has trouble breathing and is in distress, or her gums become very pale or blue, this is a sign the issue is more serious and should be seen by an ER vet or your vet sooner.
