- one female indian ringneck
iāve recently noticed my indian ringnecks foot has been very dry. almost 2 weeks ago i saw there was a little scab on her leg that was red she mustāve hurt herself somewhere but thatās healed now. then a few days after her feet were dry and she has a pressure sore on one of them (her right foot).
the perches she sits on are natural wood and i wrapped her other perch in vet wrap (to prevent bumble foot). however the pressure sore is still there and is the same as it was before, iām not sure how long they take to heal..
Some days I put coconut oil on her feet before she sleeps (she hates it!) and I didnāt see much difference tbh.
I also wash her feet with warm water (not daily) which makes them look less dry and softer.
today i saw her right leg was peeling too and itās like thereās new (slightly peach) skin under it. sheās also moulting at the moment and is very tired because of it so she goes to sleep more frequently with her weight on her right leg as she keeps her left leg snuggled up in her tummy haha. besides that sheās just her regular cheeky self! i wanted to ask here before taking her to the vet as itās very expensive to go to the vet here..
here are pictures of her feet for reference
iāve also wrote the date and which foot is which just in case lol
