Poor Toto. This sounds like it may be a neurological issue causing her immobility in her front leg, especially of all her preliminary testing came back normal. At this point I would highly recommend asking your vet for a referral to a neurologist, who can run more advanced testing (I.e. MRI, CT scan, etc) to diagnose her problem and then explore her treatment options.
