a little help...for a feathered friend =)

The redness could be some dermatitis, could be some normal hormonal coloration, or could definitely be scaly leg mites by the looks of it.

I like elector PSP for mite treatment, but there are lots of options for treating.

so you use it as a spray for scaly leg mites?

I would say - treat the cut first - then do your treatment for scaly leg mites.

Depending on how bad the cut is, you may need to wrap it for a few days - I like to use gauze & vet wrap for foot wounds.

If you are able to catch him, you might find that wrapping a towel around his wings (with feet exposed) is helpful in "subduing" him enough to get his foot treated/wrapped. This is my method for anytime I need to look at/treat feet for any reason - if they cant flap, they struggle less!

Hope that helps!

I'm going to attempt this....LOL...he's a sweet boy, but he does NOT like to be touched.
