Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cats can develop small kidney stones that can be seen on X-rays or ultrasound. It could be This that your veterinarian is seeing. If you have any concerns, I would recommend reaching out to your regular veterinarian to get clarification for what was seen.
