Corkscrew recently started peeing on my matress so today we went off to the whitecoats to make sure he wasn't sick. We went to a new vet because last time our vet was out of town and I had a horrible experience with the other vet there. After browing the yellow pages I found a clinic that works just with cats.

I was so impressed, there were two sweet torties hanging out in the lobby. One on a bed on top of the front desk and another curled up asleep on the couch.

I was mostly amazed at how well they were able to control Corkscrew. He was his usual hissy and howling self, and they seemed pefectly comfortable handling him despite the bad behavior. The techs and the vet were all wonderful when it came to dealing with angry Corkscrew.

The vet also noticed some gunk in one of his ears, the other ear looked perfect so the vet is going to look at the gunk and see if it is an infection. I know that I seldomly check their ears since they are indoors, I never thought it was a concern. I'm happy that the vet noticed it, but from now on I will be making sure to check their ears on a more regular basis.

They asked if they could hold him over night for a urine sample and I agreed. He will also be getting a microchip because I haven't had that done yet, and keep saying I need to do it. So I figure since he's already there I might as well get it done.

I'll update tomorrow when I hear back from the vet. At least I can rest easy knowing that this time he is in wonderful hands.
