[Stones] 1. please help - blood after urine sample (Kelly)

[Karen Smith]

Hi Kelly

I'd be annoyed if my vet used a needle - I can't begin to understand why a
vet would insert a needle for a bladder sample!  I'm in the UK but my vet
has got one by pressing on the bladder or I do my own tests at home - in a
very clean unused litter tray and literally wait till she goes.

Some of the blood could be from the needle.  If the stone is near the exit
in a female it is possible to extract it manually as my vet has done.  Where
are you located, UK or US?

Hope things are ok.

Karen
