<div>Hi Kelly</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.
</div>

<div>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?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope things are ok.</div>
