I'll do the DE then and just keep an eye on Gracie. She's the worst of the two.
Today when I bathed their feet in plain warm water and did the massage to loosen the calcereaous ( I think thats how you spell it ) mite deposits chunks are now rolling off without leaving bloody spots. I just expected what came next would look like a chicken leg.
Liza's feet. A lot of that is dirt :/ I planned to take a picture of them clean before the Vaseline, but she was panting and irate by the time I was done.
Hers are coming off with chicken legs and feet that look normal to me underneath the crusting.
Gracie's feet today after her warm rinse and applying the antibiotic & vaseline.
These are the size of the chunks that are rolling off her feet when I do the warm water massage before applying bacitracin and vaseline today. I think this is a good thing!!
This stuff is so thick and was hard as rock to start with. Even with the vet pulled up a few pieces on her legs she bled. It was super gross. These aren't bleeding at all as the roll off her legs with a little help from a wash cloth.
I'm going to assume the reason her feet and legs are pink and skin like underneath is because they have been encapsulated in mites for so long.
Thank you so much for all your help!! Its disconcerting to realize you have an ill animal in your care and not know what to do for them. Even the vet I took them to rarely sees poultry. He's a parrot, cat & dog vet lol
