I wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words. Sorry I didn't respond earlier but I really didn't feel like writting about it.

Leslie I wanted to respond to your post. Originally the vet did blood work on Corkscrew for everything because about 2 years ago Corkscrew became very ill, at the time the vet thought he might have had FIV so they did full blood work on him. Since then Corkscrew gets sick about twice a year, he will run high fevers and have horrible respiratory infections that will last for a month or longer. If you do a search and type in "Corkscrew sick" you will see all the threads from where he has been ill, each time it's required a few vet visits before he fully recovers.

I'm really worried because this is the first time the vet has ever asked to keep Corkscrew for the night in all the times that he's been ill. We also think that he may have a UTI, yesterday and the day before he urinated on my recliner. So while he's there they are going to get a urine sample. I think they also plan on doing another blood test on him while he is there. We really just want to get to the bottom of why he is getting sick all the time.

I felt so bad leaving him there, I carried him into the boarding area and when I placed him in the cage I wanted to give him a kiss but he hissed to loudly that it scared me. I've never heard him make a sound like that. As soon as I walked out of the room he made the loudest kitty scream I'd ever heard. The vet and the techs all jumped and I told them that I knew it was Corkscrew. They went back to check on him, but I just had to walk away because I knew if I went back he'd just go nuts again because he didn't understand why I was leaving him in a cage.

I'm supposed to call tomorrow at 10, hopefully it will be good news.
