Hi Krista,

I think its too much supplimentation that caused the crystal in urate in my case; last year, after the vet visit, I turned her heat up to approx 94F on the warm side, kept her humid hide always moist, gave her 1/2 hour warm bath every night with repto-boost just as the vet said. And most importantly, I decreased the dusting of Ca with Vit.D3; and these together solved the problem. The amount of crystal in her urate gradually decreased.

Now, I only use the Ca w/vit. D3 2-3 times a month; the other times I use plain calcium and herptivite.

Hope this helps.

Bonnie
