I don't know what to do long term. Looking it up, her phosphorus levels were out the roof. Perhaps not lethal, but through the roof.
Also, taking her regularly to the vet is out of the question. The vet is literally perhaps 100ft from my house, but Carlyle has never been well socialized. She doesn't trust people other than me and sometimes my parents because they come over to feed her occasionally. She allows no one else to touch her and has to be sedated to even be examined. A vet visit turns her into the Tasmanian devil even when gravely ill. And the one time I left her at the vet overnight she was so traumatized that it was scarring. I'm the only one who could touch her in the vet's office yesterday to muzzle her yesterday so they could take blood without sedating her. And she bit me in the process. No vet aid would touch her. Vet visits are pure torture for her. She really can't take it. So... I don't know. I just think too many vet visits with her would be traumatising to the point of torturous. So at this point it's seeing how this goes and how much it helps. There are some steps that could be more terror than they are worth. I don't want her last days to be kitty hell. :(
