We gave my cat a flea bath and now he can not meow.?

I getting getting a little worried. Could it have anything to do with one another?
Answers:
Get him to vet ASAP!! a lot of over the counter flea dips make them sick.
hahahaha - I can't help it - hahahaha - that sounds funny.

Maybe your cat is just still in shock that you actually put him in water and bathed him.. He'll probably start meowing later. To be sure open up a can of tuna and dangle it over his head until he starts meowing.
If you used an OTC flea shampoo, get him to a vet immediately.
yes, get him to the vet asap! a lot of the over the counter stuff you can buy at big box discount stores and grocery stores is toxic and can kill your cat.
hes mad at you.
It might be just shock at actually being bathed, but my kitties were always very vocal after I bathed them. Take your cat to the vet: He might be having a reaction.

Good luck!
(Hypothetically) Smacks Julie J in her (alleged) fat idiotic head and pets the kitty..

It should be okay as long as you didn't get it into the cat's ears.

You are never supposed to submerge a cat in water or soak it below the neckline.

If you got it in his ears, it goes directly into the throat as cats have different ear drums and Eustachian tubes than we do.

If you believe you did get the medication in the ears, take it to the vet if it doesn't get better in a few days. the signs for an emergency trip to the vet are always dehydration, bleeding, failure to thrive or eat and drink or relieve themselves.
The medication obviously made his meow flee.
no;

hes mad at you right now; don't worry; unless he is quivering; he will be ok.

i give my cat a bath all the time; no problems; they just get mad at you; but they get over it.
Probably best to at least call a vet immediately.

If in dim-lighting his pupils do not constrict when a flashlight is shining in his eyes, then re-dilate when it is removed, he is in serious trouble and should be rushed into the vet.
