Hello,
my old english game has a small prolapse. She is bright and laying but I have separated her, put her on a small amount of corn only and am keeping her in the dark (ish) and quiet to stop her laying and hopefully allow her prolapse to heal. She may also lose some weight.
She also has northen fowl mite which being near her vent I don't feel I can treat with Permethrin powder as its bound to get onto the bare flesh. Any ideas? Shall I Frontline her with mite treatment for caged birds? incidentally what's the Frontline spray people speak of? The only Frontline I know is an organophosphate(?) treatment for dogs (there is a bird version too) which you dab on their necks and it spreads over their skin to kill mites, fleas, ticks etc. You have to weigh the bird and apportion drops accordingly.
best wishes,
Claire
