It is up to you if you want to cancel the blood testing but in reality, it is always a good idea to have the blood testing results. Now, if she was actively urinating (like squatting to pee) in the house on that rug, that may have been a behavioral issue since there was no UTI. If she was just leaking urine passively while she is laying down then it more likely she has urinary incontinence and those symptoms can come and go.
