Swollen feet?

[LaFleche]

We used Vaseline daily for about 2 weeks.

Right up to the hocks?

any signs of bumblefoot on the bottom on her feet?

Nope

We used it on both of her entire legs.

We used it on both of her entire legs.

Strange, they should look much better then.

Back then my first intents using Vaseline were not really successful as it does not creep deep enough under the scales to smother all the mites and their eggs.
Then I switched to Ballistol Animal spray without any further issues.

Ballistol Animal spray

All well and good, but a lot of products you use/recommend are not available in the U.S.

Ballistol ANIMAL oil is not sold in the U.S.

Sorry..... The link you provided does go to a Ballistol Product but it is a lubricating product used for firearms, wood, leather, hardware knives - very likely not the same product you are using on your bird's legs.

I have used a number of oils to treat a rooster who had scaly leg mites. Crisco solid vegetable oil shortening, vaseline, canola oil are some, and castor oil which may be less messy. Everyone has their favorite one, but repeating the treatment for many weeks is probably the thing that will help, more than the oil.

Yes, I second that.

Other methods will work also, but some are really messy and the birds get sticky. And of course everybody has their own preferred ways.
