painted finch getting better?

[gouldian4]

higuys i have found out that my female finch had mites. i have treated her and the male with ivomectim and a spray of lice and mice spray. the lump near her rump was actually mites eggs burrowed underneath her skin. she also had another section of eggs just near her neck. the neck lumps have dissapeared and her one near her bottom does not look as sore and is deterierating in size although when i picked them up to overlook them the males feathers where literally falling out no joke. they seem healthier though. is this just something normal that happens after treatment or getting rid of the mites?

congrats with finding out that it was mites and being able to treat them fast to save there lives well im not shor about the feathers falling out i know that if a bird has mites there feathers do start to fall out of they start to go bowled so maybe some one else can help with that but good luck with the birds getting better... thanks toddles

yer thats good they are very good in helping the bird out a lot does not matter what the bird has the heat helps a lot compared to leaving them out in the aviary... thanks toddles

Good to hear its getting better. I'll remember if I ever have problem now.
Always feels good when you can save a sick bird.

Be good if you could take a picture so the rest of us know what to look for.
We might be able to make a library out of all the illness with a photo.
Not easy to fine I have found.

Cheers
