Foot Infection Info Needed [Images Provided]

[CaitlynNichols]

One of our silkies has a bad foot infection. It's very scaly, hard, with white masses; she has trouble standing on one foot in particular. She did have a case of scaly leg mites before so we dusted the chickens and put Vaseline on her foot. We're not sure if it's another mites infection again. What type of treatment should we give her to somehow cure this infection? Thanks!

Have you tried to soak the feet and see if any of it comes off? Try soaking it in Epsom salt and Betadine..
If its scaly leg mites you need something like Ivermectin(pour-on) to get rid of them..

Until you get the medication, completely cover the leg and foot in vaseline.
