Milia spots on nostrils

[NorthwoodsChick]

Have to have nerves of steel to have kids and pets!

Revolution works by penetrating the skin and entering your pet's bloodstream.

LOL- my kids are adults, one home from college now- he works for our business.

Revolution doesn’t seem likely to work for scaly leg mites. No other parasites atm to justify its use, but good to know what it can be used for— thanks for the info.
For now I will continue to treat with vaseline. I cleaned out coop and sprayed roosts with permethrin.

I have no idea what the spots are on the nostrils.

I've never used a product like Revolution on poultry, so couldn't say how effective or safe it would be to use. If there's a withdrawal period or concern of residue, I don't know that either, you'd have to research the active ingredients and come to your own conclusions.

Scaly Leg Mites are traditionally treated by working an oil, ointment or cream up and under the scales of the legs/feet at least weekly for several weeks. This will smother the SLM.
Ivermectin can also be used to treat SLM, withdrawal period is 30 days after last dosing.

thank you— I’m just watching her for now. seems healthy

I have never seen the white raised spots on nostrils like in your chicken. Are they also on the other side? Combs, especially irregular combs can get a similar white bumpy appearance that is probably mild favus or fungus. I would try using a little Betadine 10% on the nostrils with a cotton ball or QTip while someone hold her.

Yes, both sides. I have some chlorhexadine I can use.

Selemectin, ivermectin etc are pretty safe (I once accidentally gave my yearling horse an adult horse does for ivermectin! I freaked out when I realized this, my vet wasn’t concerned, told me the colt would be fine - he was and actually grew a whole hand taller and had the most beautiful winter coat ).

This is the info for Revolution:

Revolution works by penetrating the skin and entering your pet's bloodstream. Concentrations of selamectin, the active ingredient, in the tissue and bloodstream prevent heartworm disease. Selamectin also redistributes into the skin from the bloodstream and kills adult fleas, American dog ticks, and ear mites, and prevents flea eggs from hatching. It is also an anthelmintic, which means it fights to expel parasitic worms. Parasites ingest the drug when they feed on the animal's blood. Revolution is safe for pregnant and lactating pets

Suspicious of Fowl Pox, if so just needs to run it’s course. You can do a search and read up on. She looks really like she is thriving so if lit is indeed FP then she should be ok.

FYI you can use Revolution Puppy/kitten strength for mite/lice treatment. Easy to administer - just like your cat/dog drop on the skin between the wings. I treated a Polish Roo I got who had lice. And then ended up treating him again for round worms. Got rid of those suckers also.

She is a lovely girl do you have photos of the others? You should post!
