Poor baby. I just sent a recipe for a dip to someone else today. First and foremost wash her good with baby shampoo. In a bucket put peroxide, water, borax laundry powder, and coconut oil. Leave her in it for 5 minutes. If you can soak her longer then leaver her in for longer. Do not dry her off or rinse after the soak. If it is mites or lice or any bug this will kill it. Be sure not to get it in her eyes or mouth. You would need to repeat this every other day for 2 weeks. This is due to the life cycle of eggs left. coconut oil will also suffocate any live mites as well as help her skin and legs heal and it is a natural antibiotic, and sunscreen. It also kills candida which is a yeast infection which can occur after she has been picking and itching. I hope this helps I have used this on my birds for years and do it once a month as a preventative. Since she looks raw it maybe uncomfortable at first for the dip but just push thru and try to keep her in there for as long as you can.
