Thank you.
Here's ChiChi
It is going to drive me crazy though. The fact that they dont know what it is that is causing small blood in her urine. *sigh*. I am just glad she doesnt appear to be in any pain or having any problems.

Ok mom talked to the vet again. He was trying to decipher the report from the specialist.. I guess he has bad handwriting.
so we're going to try to get a copy of a typed up report within the next few days.
So he translated that she has a very very small infarct on her kidney. Which, in lame man's terms, means her kidney is shrinking. Very little. He said it is not uncommon in old cats. And that if it were his cat, he would not do any more tests and just let it be. He wants to keep her on the S/D food and bring in a urine sample in a month or so. I guess to just make sure its not getting worse. So far every urine sample has had less blood in it, so that's good. Then just watch her to make sure she doesnt have any other strange symptoms.
He also called it a Hematuria Ideopathic. Do you know what that means? It means "There's blood in the urine but I cant figure out what the problem is" basically..lol. Good lord they even have a term for that
