I have 3 silkies various sizes. The smallest one is probably only afew months old. I noticed yesterday that his eyes were all crusted shut. When I picked him up to clean him, noticed alot of dry cruty skin around face and chest. Not acting right, lethargic. Smelled funny too. Noticed tiny red bugs all over him. Got some mite dust and when I just checked on him, his eyes were shut again. I dusted him, cleaned his eyes and as soon as his eyes were open he ate and drank a bit same as yesterday. I think he isn't eating becasue he can't see. Are the mites causing all these symptoms? I dusted all three birds becasueif one has mites they all have mites. Help please
