Why is my cat losing her voice and congested after a new kitten?

Question

my cat has also had the same symptoms, since the introduction of a new kitten. She started with a croaky voice and then now has lost her voice completely. Other than showing signs of congestion and lost voice, she has no other symptoms. I have taken her to the vets twice, first time they gave me an anti inflammatory, the inflammatory made her nauseous. I took her back two days later and they said to stop the anti inflammatory and they gave her antisickness. What could be wrong with my cat? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9.9 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Hallie! How long has she had these symptoms and how old is she? It is likely a viral infection she got form the kitten. It should run it's course in 2 weeks or so. As long as she is eating and otherwise fine you can ride it out. If she has a fever or isn't eating she will need support and medications from your Veterinarian. If she is an older cat and this has been going on for several weeks to months I would ask your Vet to do a sedated oral exam to check for a mass. I wish you the best!
