His blood work came back, and the only indication is Neutropenia (sp?), which simply means a low white blood cell count. Vet says this is often an indication of a viral infection. He's on antibiotics, which aren't good for viral infections, but stave off secondary infections.
The good news is, he ate a little bit this morning, and he is using the box to pee! Vet says he looks "brighter" and appears to feel better. He kept his food down, and he is well hydrated.
We can bring him home today, but if it is a virus, we run the risk of infecting the other three cats. Vet thinks to be 100% sure, we should wait 48 hours. I think we should bring him home now, because all he might have is stress, and Daddy's love might be the best medicine.
BUT I expect Gary and I and the Vet will compromise on Tuxedo spending one more night and bringing him home tomorrow.
We can isolate him in the bedroom, but that'll only work for at most 24 hours. We live in a very small space, and the bedroom is an important component in our kitty's lives.

I'm so glad he's doing better.
Laurie, sweetie - I've only just seen this thread!!
I hope little Tuxedo continues on his road to recovery. Me and my 3 fluffs send loads of love and snuggles for the little guy.
