Unless the reason the pitcher stopped was an act by the offense (coach or batter asked for time while in her motion, or batter stepped out of the box), it is an illegal pitch. This also isn't the BU's call; it is the PU call. PU calls all IP's dealing with the hands; BU watches the feet for off the plate, leaps, crow hops. You didn't let the vet off; it was your call to make.
The only other reason to not call an IP is if the BU says she wasn't on the plate, and this was a warmup that many pitchers do into their glove, not the start of a pitch.
