I took my cat for his first dental cleaning. It's been over 48 hours now and although the anesthesia symptoms are gone, no sound comes out when he meows! Has anyone experienced this or heard of this happening?

It is always possible for the tube when they intubate them to damage the cords but more then likely his throat is dry or sore from it. I would just watch and if tomorrow he still dont make a sound i would check with the vet.

Poor kitty! Though I don't understand enough about this, I do believe it might be that -- it might just hurt for him to meow now. Hope he feels better!
