I was under the impression that crystals were formed from the urine being too alkaline and that keeping the urine acidic prevents UTIs. If that is the case wouldn't making the urine more acidic be helpful?
I was under that impression too, and from what I've read that's correct.

Btw, went to the vet today, and he said my cat has a high white blood cell count but his urine is still acidic and he has no stones. He prescribed Science Diet c/d and gave me some pills for UTI.

I dunno if there's anything else that can cause high white blood cell count besides UTI, and vet wasn't very descriptive. I posted a thread in the health section too about it, so if anyone has any info and would like to post there or here it would be greatly appreciated.
