Now I'm really confused. The vet called back and said that her blood calcium levels are within normal bounds, but her phosphorus is low and her liver enzymes are elevated.

She still isn't active very much (I have yet to see her come out of her nest box and she doesn't even poke her nose out when I call her name like she usually does.

The vet wants to put her on antibiotics in case she has an infection, and is consulting with a neurologist.

Her symptoms are hallmark MBD, yet her calcium levels appear normal. I guess the question I have is, should I continue with the vitamin D (today is day 8 of 3x per day Vitamin D3, Calcium cocktail dosing)?

Have you seen MBD symptoms but not had it be MBD? How do I get her more phosphorous? I'm so confused and worried for her. I just want to do the right thing, but even the vet seems at a loss to figure out what to do.
