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

[Meghann Matwichuk]

Just wanted to chime in that I had a vet rupture / ulcerate a bladder
(post-surgery) once via the squeezing route, so I guess there can be
problems with all methods... It's too bad that they're such delicate /
unpredictable creatures. Best wishes to your little one -- I hope she
heals quickly and completely very soon! -- MM
