Hi everyone! This is something that happened to my kitty (still ongoing actually) and I wanted to put this here because I never thought this would happen. So I have a torbie named Deborah - she, like many torties/torbies, is a very loud girl. A few weeks ago her voice went raspy. Then it progressed into her gagging occasionally without vomiting. My family and I got her into the vet ASAP the moment the odd gagging started and an ulcer was found in her throat.
The vet said this was a very odd injury. She got steroids and antibiotics along with some pain meds and all was well. Until it wasn't.
The raspiness started to come back so we did another round of steroids and antibiotics. She perked back up and we took her in for another scope. Throat was all healed up but now it was noticed her two remaining molars (yeah...Debbie two teeth...) are just wrecked. One is cracked in half. We figured she'd be fine until they could get them out - that particular vet was not our regular and told us we'd be looking at January 24th.
Well the raspiness came back. Bad. Thankfully we got a call from our regular and he's fitting us in this coming Wednesday ("they're gonna be mad at me but I'll handle it" he said). He says there's no other reason for her to be having this issue and we need to not wait and just get this done. Her poor little cheeks are so puffy right now.
All this to say do NOT feel ridiculous calling about their voice being off. It could be nothing or it could be a problem. I just feel very lucky that it doesn't look like cancer.
