Favors the left leg?

Nope. Never see her limping or putting weight on only one leg.

I meant in the picture. But if it makes you happy, I’ll stop trying and just say you win

What do I win? I don’t want that chicken!

Drugs for scaly leg mite?
Cleaning leg scales with a toothbrush!
Just No.
Smother in Vaseline and Betadine 75%-25% for three consecutive nights.
Leave for two weeks and repeat.
The scales won't realign properly until the new scales grow.

I believe I have betadine so I’ll try that.

Curiously, how much ivermectin in how much Vaseline do you use. I have one that I think I wanna try this with.

I don’t remember. I just spooned some Vaseline into the bag and poured maybe a capful of the pour-on liquid.
I should have been more scientific about it.

It is what most veterinarians will recommend.

Thanks, I'll give it a go and see how it works.
