My two little BA mixes have dry cracking on their legs. I treated their legs a few times with NuStock when the weather was warmer because their legs were getting a thick, chalky, dry look to them. I thought I saw improvement, but with the bitter cold they are still dry. I haven't wanted to put anything on them in the cold because I thought it might make things worse (wet lotion would freeze). However, I apply at night when they are roosting and I suppose the cream would dry by morning since they sit on their legs while they roost. I was hoping I could wait until spring warmth to treat more aggressively, but I need to do something now.
Any suggestions? Should I just apply NuStock every few nights when they are roosting?
It's possible that you have already eradicated the little invaders. I was the one who recommended nustock to you and it is still what I would use. Since nustock is primarily an oil with a ton of sulphur you get the oil doing its job suffocating and the sulphur repelling any survivors. Sulphur is used to get rid of all kinds of mites in the garden and on humans and animals including demodex mites causing mange. I beleive its even a common scabies treatment.
I loved using Pam for follow up treatments every second night simply because its so easy and only ever did the one (heavy) treatment with nustock. I seem to recall it taking a long time to be able to see the difference as the old damaged scales stay in place for so long. Have you noticed any improvement or have they gotten worse?
