I've taken a couple of photos of her foot which will hopefully show what I'm worried about.

Please excuse her muddy toes which make it rather difficult to see exactly what's what.

 

 

 

I don't know whether this could be scaly leg mite or just some kind of bumping/bruising she has picked up while she was in the battery cage.

 

If it IS scaly leg, then what is the most effective way of treating it?

 

Many thanks.

It's a job to see actually ... could you enlarge the photos a bit?

[Lavenders_Blue]

Have enlarged the photos - probably now too big!

They are a bit big now but we'll let you off while we help diagnose Queenie .

 

It's hard to say . Do you have any photos of her legs before?

 

This is a photo of my Molly's scaly leg which is much more obvious.

She's an ex-batt so her feet were like that when she came 2 1/2 weeks ago.

 

How quickly can it get worse? I perhaps just need to monitor to see if it stays the same or worsens and then treat accordingly. (???)

It doesn't look like Scaley Leg Mite to me....just pigmentation.

[Lavenders_Blue]

Great, that has put my mind at rest. I will keep an eye on it just to be on the safe side but hopefully I can sleep tonight not worrying that she is in discomfort!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I agree with Egluntyne .
