My 1 year old d'uccle roo recently grew in some new leg feathers, which has the skin and follicles inflamed and red, but now I'm also noticing bumpy raised scales so I suspect scaly leg mites. Anyone who has d'uccles knows how heavily feathered their feet and legs are (it's almost ridiculous, but pretty to look at), so I don't think oily topicals are my best option. Also, I want to treat the whole flock at once. I'm hoping to use 1% injectable ivermectin in their water, but does anyone know if it will kill scaly leg mites if given that way? (and would it kill gapeworm and body lice/mites too?) What is the correct dosage and for how long? I've read conflicting posts as to whether injectable ivermectin is really water soluble.
Thanks!
Thanks!
