Some cats have no voices. My Shadoe has no voice and whenever he meows it sounds like something is dying. It sounds weird coming from him cause he's so big and tough and he has this wimpy little meow.

I don't think this is a big concern, UNLESS it looks like her breathing is disturbed or she is coughing a lot. In that case there may be something blocking her airways. Is she eating normally? Cats probably won't eat if there is something in their throat. Usually hairballs go away on their own and you are doing the right thing using the hairball remedy. But if it looks like she is in distress then you might need to do something about it.
