She’s on the steroids. Blood tests and examination all good. But they want $4000 to do a full scan.

In Australia. Steroids have not worked, she’s just got worse. Going back to vet Tuesday.

Going Tuesday. Apart from a $4000 scan (not going to happen) to see if she has cancer, I doubt anything. Poor old girl

So they basically said there not much they can do. Nerve damage is hard to deal with and the steroids didn’t work. 
As long as she eats ok, her eye still blinks or face don’t droop, she should be fine.
