Thanks to everyone for their good wishes.
The vet phoned at 10.25 last night - he had had an emergency case and had only just finished operating, bless him.
The scans are inconclusive There is no obvious tumour but he thinks it is too small to see and had warned me this could happen. She has muscle atrophy and brachial plexus paralysis, the only other cause for this problem is trauma, we are pretty sure she has not had any and the onset was not sudden, more of a progressive lameness and paralysis.
There is a very small chance that it is a very rare inflamatory reaction to something unknown.
As the scan is inconclusive we are going to give her some high dose steroids for a week and review her then. TBH I am not terribly hopeful and I do not think he is but we have no other options.
So more waiting and hoping. She is such a good girl and is trying so hard to get around when we let her. Heartbreaking
