redfrock Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think (know) two of my girls have developed scaly leg I'm going to ring the vet tomorrow and ask for some ivormec /eprimex - although I have seen that Barrier do a spray for it, so not sure if that would be better. I guess they have picked it up off the wild birds but I need to know if I need to do anything extra to their house - are they likely to have infested the house / bars? (bear in mind my bars are wooden but my house isn't) Anything else I need to know? Feel pants about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I used Johnson's Anti-Mite Spray and vaseline. It seemed to do the trick but Molly's scales are still raised (and will be for some time, I understand). I didn't do anything with the WIR/eglu. I'm assuming they were picked up from the wild birds outside the run . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sorry to hear that Claire. ANH's suggestion is best. The scales will remain raised and manky looking even after the mites have gone; they take a few months to moult off, so just leave them and keep up the preventative treatment.
