Hi Everyone,
Well, last summer my Kojak and Maize Moo succumbed to the dreaded scaly leg... I used various treatments from surgical spirit which I later deeply regretted as i did not realize it probably hurt (doh) but had read that it was quite a beneficial treatment. I also used Vaseline and scaly leg spray and eventually invermectin drops. Thought i had cured my girls but after carrying out a pekin manicure, I am not so sure. I know the scales on the legs can stay quite raised after scaly leg even though they are cured, but they did look a little whitish and crusty in places.
This may sound a little daft, but would diatomaceous earth get rid of them? I have only used this in their dust baths and in the housing for red mite control. If I rub the stuff in their legs and feet will this help?
I have also used sudocream as you have suggested in between treatments of scaly leg spray but am concerned as the spray says do not use on feathers??
