UDATE JRT with brachial plexus palsy

[misst]

Some of you may remember my little JRT was having a problem with her left fore a while ago. The specialist vet thought it was probably a nerve sheath tumour and there was not much we could do except put her on steroids.

Well she improved on them and has not limped since mid December. She is now off all her steroids and is her old busy happy self. She is fatter as the steroids gave her a dreadful appetite and she would steal anything she could With the reduced excercise she did pile on the pounds. Now with her appetite back to normal and her excercise regime reinstated she hopefully will shed a bit soon.

We do not know what the future holds but for now she is well and happy and things look hopeful for the next while at least Thank you so much for all the good wishes on here

So pleased that she has returned to her normal self even though she is a bit overweight , that can be dealt with, I hope you get to enjoy her for as long as possible.

Im sure you are hoping this was a misdiagnosis because the specialist couldnt give you a definite diagnosis, I hope this is the case and she lives a long and happy life. Good luck to you both.

Thanks Dg I am hoping it was a misdiagnosis but he was pretty sure and he is a top specialist. He did say if the steroids helped they can delay things for an indefinite period. He sort of hinted it could be a long time if we were lucky. If she stays well for a significant time I would try them again for a short course. It was definitely worthwhile this time
