Hi all, can anyone please help identify what is wrong with my girl? Her feet are all swollen and there is no indication of bumblefoot. I’ve tried a lot of research but can’t find anything related to this. It feels hard to touch and she is not using her feet to grip on the perch.
If anyone has any idea what this is I would appreciate it a lot!
Thanks

I also think that is articular gout. What has her diet been? Gout can have many different causes, including diet, genetics, and exposure to afflatoxins. You could try soaking the feet in warm water with Epsom salts once a day to see if it helps. Some use tart cherry extract capsules daily for pain relief. It may or may not help. This is a good article to read about possible causes:
