while they're at it, i'd recommend an ultrasound (or contrast cystography) if it hasn't already been done as not all stones show up on x-ray, depending upon type and size.
did your vet mention anything about bloodwork? if hypercalcemia isn't present, then there probably isn't an indication for a reduced calcium food. did the vet tell you what her pH was? perhaps the crystal formation can be prevented by altering her urinary pH with a supplement instead of an entire diet change.
