| Urine drying into crystals? Has anyone ever heard of this before. I've noticed a couple times in the past when Otis has had an accident on the floor that it dries into crystals. I looked online and found a couple places that said different things. One said it dries into sugar crystals, another said uric acid crystals. Anyone ever heard of it. Otis acts fine, but his urine gets pretty bright yellow sometimes, he doesn't drink very much. What are your thoughts?

| I have noticed the same thing with Gucci's urine. It turns into just a layer of crystals. I am curious if anyone knows why?? |

| Urea, the main component of urine, was the first compound to be crystallized and isolated. So yeah, it should crystallize. |
