As far as the stones, I have lots of experience with stones...You need to have your vet send the crystals/stones to a lab to find out what kind they are. This is extremely important, as treatment for different stones is completely different. Cranberry juice is not necessarily good for all types of stones. A blockage could occur, and your girl could be in a worse condition. I would also have the vet do an X-ray AND an ultrasound as some stones don't show up on x-rays and only show up on ultrasounds...Depending on the types of stones, she may need surgery because some stones do not dissolve regardless of diet change... Some stones do...
It sounds like you may need another vet if he/she is not willing to do these vital tests...
this is one of my threads on samie- :-)
