Hi..

I recently moved from a house to an apartment.

Whilst getting the apartment settled, we had friends look after Kurt at our
old house so as not to upset him too much by moving him twice.

Anyway, when we got him to his new home, I noticed what looked like a dog
bite on his hind right leg.  The wound was already almost completely
healed.. so I decided a vet visit wasnt necessary.

I kept my eye on the wound, which looked to be healing nicely day by day..
then I forgot about it..

This morning I found a droplet of watery blood on the floor, and when I
checked the cat, there is a huge open wound on his leg, in a different spot
from the original wound..

I will be taking him to the vet, but was wondering if this second wound
could possibly have anything to do with the litter I am using???
It's called Catsan  made by Masterfoods. (I'm in Australia).

The packet says it is made from silica gel crystals with added freshener

Is anyone aware of any skin complaintss cause by silica???

Please help! the leg looks very sore!     I cant get hiim to a vet until
Wednesday due to cashless...  called the vet, but because I am new to the
area and unestablished client, he wont offer a pay later option as yet..

I feel so guilty now!!!    :(
