Default Calcium oxalate crystals/stones

My research tells me that yorkies are pre-disposed to Ca-Ox stones, so I'm wondering if anyone here had dealt with them?

My little Ranger was diagnosed with Ca-Ox crystals in his urine. He had an ultrasound and ex-ray, and they did not find any actual stones. Yet. He also has very low urine PH (5.5) and very concentrated specific gravity at 1.049.

My pup is already on a specific novel protein diet and .5 mg Budesonide every other day for IBD (and is doing well), so I am struggling now to figure out what to feed him or if there is an answer to the crystals that does not involve changing his diet.

I do have an appointment with an internal medicine vet but he can't get in for just over three more weeks, and while I've loved my vet in the past, there are a couple of reasons that I am questioning her advice on this.

Any advice?

Thank you in advance.
