The owner took leave to consult me. She had bought a Silver Spray which is advertised as being effective in healing and applied onto the inflamed belly. It did not work. So she consulted me.

This video shows that the vet must ask in detail the management of the multiple cat household, esp. the litter box changes, types and number.

In this case, the problem was friction climbing into the "litter cage" for this cat. For the past month, the owner insisted that this cat used the "litter cage" while all the past years, she was using open litter box. The injury became infected. Treatment is by injection with anti-inflammatory and antibiotics and disinfecting the area.

No more litter cage for the next few weeks. Use the open litter tray. Healing will be possible.  Anal sacculitis started recently as the cat was not able to poop inside the litter cage.

Very rarely do Singapore cat owners use "litter cages". The open litter tray is used often. Disadvantage is spilling of litter onto the floor if the cat uses back legs to scratch the litter.
