Urinalysis: Testing a Urine Sample

Winnie is going on 10 months old now. She was spayed about 4 months ago and had all test run on her. If that includes a bile acids test, I am not aware.

Since her pH was 7, isn't that normal then? Why did she get the crystals? This is why i wish my vet would have talked to me! I'm guessing the crystals won't go away on their own even if I do change her diet so I will have to get a perscription diet from another vet.
