A proper diet & maintenance is key; also monitoring when/how often they pee, which will catch it before too many crystals form. Good luck with her!
The vet is hoping it's due to an infection and possibly what she was eating or drinking at the old home. She is on antibiotics and we are going to check everything in 2 weeks. She didn't want to jump right into switching food and stuff sense we just got her and she might do ok on what we feed.
