I had to take Rip in to the vet just now. She was having some problems with her back legs and her meow vanished! I just dealt with a person whose boyfriend backhanded one of her cats and the cat lost her meow, and the cat also lost her life from the blow she sustained. So to say I was worried sick about Ripster was an understatement!
The vet (I found a cat vet!) YEAH! Said she has sustained some injury to her back. He does not know why her meow is gone, he checked her neck and throat and said it could just be the stress caused by the pain.
He put her on predisone for a few days and if she doesn't get better he will run x-rays. Not only is he a cat vet, but he loves ferals and he gave me a discounted price! $45.00 for the whole visit! Of course he is hours away (figures) but at least I found a cat vet for non-emergency type situations.
Rip is contained upstairs, and right now? I think I am glad her meow is gone! She hates confinement!
