[Felvtalk] scratchy meow

2009-11-24 Thread Tracy McLendon
Hello!  I am new here!  I have a 1 1/2 year old blind FLV cat.  Two
days ago, she started to have an odd scratchy sounding meow.  She also
went into heat about the same time.  She is eating and playing
normally.  Her meow just suddenly changed and sounds raspy, almost
like a parrot.

This is my first experience with a FLV cat.  She is not on any type of
vitamins, she is just like all the other cats, until she started with
this weird meow.  When she went in originally for her eye enucleation,
the vet just said she would be more susceptible to infections and that
she would not live long.

Can someone help me?  Any other signs I should look for?  She seems
normal otherwise but I am such a hyphochondriac for myself and my
animals!  I just want to know if anyone else has experienced meow
changes

Thanks in advance!

Her name is Bacca.  I am from the south and my fiance found her on a
tobacco farm at work one day with goopy eyes.  Down south, people call
tobacco bacca and she is golden in some spots like the leaf.
I had an appt for her friday to be seen but i am going to wait til she
is out of heat and get her spayed.  She is playing and just ate an
entire container of wet food.  I am scared of getting her spayed
because the last vet made such a big deal out of the eye surgery and
how the anesthesia could kill her.  I am going to go in and talk to
the vet as well.  I did get a new one.   They seem more reasonable as
I have taken several other animals of ours there and things have gone
well(crossing my fingers that it will continue).
Thank you all for responding!

 Tracy, not sure but the weird meow could be caused by her going into heat.  
 Any reason why you have not had her spayed?  I've had all my FeLV+ kitties 
 spayed/neutered.  Just makes sense since any off spring would almost surely 
 be FeLV+.  I wouldn't have her spayed while in the heat cycle but definitely 
 as soon as it is over.
