Just noticed today.....Bracken seems to have the feeling back in her toes and foot.
I tickled her hair between her toes and she seems to flinch, She nudges me with her noes and other leg, She knows I'm doing it. When I squeeze her toes she tries to nudge me away with her head. I'll try it all again tomorrow, hopefully its not a fluke!

It's not a fluke. It sounds like Bracken's feeling is coming back. I experienced the same thing with Slim (Bracken is about 2 months behind Slim in terms of the accident but right on track as to where she should be in terms of recovery). I was thrilled when Slim reacted to the tickles and pinches. The neurologist was also surprised because the feeling was coming back in parts of his foot that she said had no feeling weeks prior.
Keep up the tickling and pinching. The next milestone will be when Bracken moves her paw when you tickle the foot. That's what Slim has been doing lately. He is particularly senstive just below the dewclaw. When I lightly touch it, his paw twitches! The twitches get strong and stronger. I think it's a good sign. Good luck with Bracken's progress. Every day she will get stronger and stronger.
Thanks Sheena,
Say Hi to slim for us..... Glad he's doing well.
Take Care.

Yaaaaaaay, Bracken!!! I can't wiggle or twitch my boo-boo foot at all, that's quite a "feet" for you! But you are a clever gal, so it's no surprise at all! Yaaaayyy!
