Douxo does take a few treaments to start to work. I would try JUST the douxo for 2 weeks, using every other day and if there is no improvement then try the frontline. Nothing works overnight unfortunately.

I guess it's too late. I applied the frontline
I also changed the entire bedding in the (covered) run because it was hay and there are probably tons of bugs in there. I switched to pine shavings.
I will give her another bath hopefully tomorrow if not Saturday morning.

Yes I did try Vetrx but did not get better. I haven't tried vetericyn but Nustock seems to be similar (did not work out)
Now I am just crossing my fingers for her....and me!

Mine just started and \were bettween 6-7 months old. But I have heard some can take a month or two longer.

So I lost Teriyaki last week to blocked digestive tract. Now I have Parmesano going down hill real fast. She was active this morning, by tonight she is hardly able to stand and in pain. Crop was rock hard, got EVOO and Molasses down and now crop is empty. I am hope she is strong enough to make it through the night, but it does not look good. I don't want weak bird but it is still hard to watch them when in pain.

I don't think she is molting because her entire face, neck, throat is peeling and flaking like crazy. She is only 4 months old.
I tried everything.... feet and vaginal cream, oatmeal bath, flea and ticks shampoo, Nustock, douxo shampoo, sevin, ivermectin, eprinex and the list goes on. 

I feel so bad for you...

This group of folks tries to be very helpful and your question just may have been inadvertently passed over...

How old are these babies ?? Im sorry she isnt doing well. Do/did they have similar symptoms ? Sometimes it is hard to figure out just what is going on.

Thank you. It means a lot to get some support. I just feel so helpless...

I am so sorry about Parmesano. I really hope she will be ok.
