Hi, If anyone could share thoughts on this cat health problem, I'd be
grateful.....

Our (middle aged) moggie has suddenly lost the ability to meow :(

We thought that this was due to his unfortunate habit of eating bees/wasps
(causing swelling around mouth and presumably inside the voicebox, but he's
been like this for a fortnight or so now and doesn't seem to be otherwise in
any discomfort or pain. He makes the requisite efforts, but all there is is
a little 'click' sound, and and his sad little face, poor little mite. :(

He isn't deaf, and doesn't seem to be affected in any other way, toilet
patterns seem normal (though difficult to monitor as he goes outside rather
than use the litter tray).

Any ideas on what it might be, and should I be rushing to the vets just yet?

Wilfred
