Favus?

[abarnangh]

I though my Girl's comb was just dry from the winter but it recently has gotten worse so definitely not dry. Does this look like favus to anyone else? It looks very powdery in person and she has no other symptoms. My other girls look fine. Also if you agree it's favus what have yall has luck using to treat it? Thanks all very much!

It might be favus, tough to tell in this instance. Apply Miconazole cream to her comb until it's gone. Wear disposable gloves when applying it. It is contagious to other birds and can be contagious to humans.

Thanks! I was thinking the same. I'll try it out and see how things go.
