I’ve been trying to treat one of my guineas for suspected bumble foot and come to the conclusion that it’s mites. There’s no bumble foot root and no scab anywhere and it’s both feet that are affected. She’s not easy to catch, so I’ve been periodically epsom salt soaking her feet and then applying Benadryl spray or polysporin and Vaseline to legs and toes. She doesn’t seem to be getting better however, and is now laying down 90% of the day.
On top of this, I just found lice on one of my polish hens (lord help me!)
there’s a ton of wild birds back where there coop is and they free range so it was bound to happen
is Doktor Doom lice spray an adequate treatment for both? I really love my guineas and want to help her but it’s so hard to get her locked down somewhere long enough to treat her. She screams non stop if I put her in a dog kennel in my house, and it’s 95 degrees outside so she can’t stay in it in the run or coop.
