    Edit: And yes, if I was peeing blood then I would expect my doctor to test my urine before giving me an cystoscopy, seeing as there is very little you would be able to tell from just doing a routine physical exam.


    Would you just expect to be able to drop a sample in at reception for your doctor to test your urine without seeing you?

    As this all happened over three weeks ago hopefully the kitten has recovered.

    If, sadly, that is not the case then the OP is probably trying to blame the vet for not providing satisfactory treatment for an animal they have not been allowed to see!How can "it not be in her best interest" for the animal to be examined by a highly qualified professional?

    Yes , both at my last practice and my present one I can drop in a sample and ask for it to be tested. I will then get a phone call consultation when the gp has examine it.

    He may prescribe medication or, f necessary, he will ask me to make an appointment

    It saves taking up an appointment unnecessarily
