Thanks! It seems like my one girls leg scales come back up after a couple days so I wasn't sure if that was a sign that treatment was not working or they were coming back...
What kind of oil are you using? It takes a while for the scales to heal. Some times you won't notice a lot of improvement for a few weeks.
This has been going on for about 6 months. I started with coconut oil, that didn't seem to work so I switched to veg oil with tea tree. It seemed to be getting a little better. Then a few weeks ago (we were out of town and came home to) our girl that had the worst leg mites had a prolapsed vent, vent gleet, and her scales were vertical with feet bright red and she was chewing on her feet. I concentrated on the vent issues which now are under control. For her legs I switched to mineral oil with Vaseline and dusting with DE. It looked so bad I was tempted to try gasoline or motor oil but just can't do that knowing how toxic it is and how painful her feets looked. I prefer to stick with non toxic but was so worried about her with all of the stress related vent issues. It was a mess but she is way better now.. I just know the leg mites can be stressful for them too.
