I have 1 budgie which seems to have scaly legs. I have never experienced it before. Maybe a mite of some kind or mossies?

 

Other budgies are okay. I was thinking maybe ivermectin would help but cannot find it in any pet shops. I thought I saw a thing called Scatt on the net for similar

 

but cannot find it now. I am on the gold Coast. Anyone with some advice please? Thanks so much. Dazler

Ivermectin is available from any good bird vet. You wont find it over the counter unless you are prepared to buy a large and expensive cattle pour on kind from a stockfeed supplier. Most budgie clubs sell it from their products tables and most show budgie breeders keep it on hand. Scatt is not available in Australia.

 

Dose one, dose them all. Never assume its only one and the others havent got it.
