Hi from me & Katy, welcome to our forum She's a beautiful girl & I can imagine you are very concerned! I would certainly advise getting your vet to see her!

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

Wow, that's expensive, where in the world are you? Do you have any insurance?
How's she doing with the steroids?

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

Re: Staffie head caving in
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.
