Yup, could be a cya move.
Best to just move on to the IMS.
My dog just had a bladder u/s by a general vet. I knew he may not see everything an IMS woud, but figured what the heck. We might get a dx and avoid the specialty hospital. Not a fan of that place... He did see some abnormalities that he had never seen before, but could not dx it. So he sent us to the IMS...and the u/s that he did was free bc of no dx. If he really wants to play this retest game, I'd tell him he s welcome to do so...at no charge to you.
BTW, Ry's IMS wants the next urinalysis to be a double...samples taken cysto and free catch sent out at same time. This would help r/o granulomatous urethritis. Definitely not saying this is your girl's problem, but it is just one example of why repeating a regular u/a before seeing the IMS would have been a waste of money.
