To be honest, if it were my bird I would just wash his feet in Cidal soap twice a day and stop ALL the creams...changing creams can make the problem worse not better.
Do you think this could be stress related..ie.could Harvey be picking up on your stress levels and it's causing him to have this problem?

Good luck with Murph. You have a lot of slimming to do there. Maybe call for a stomach band....

I just weighed Bailey and he is def bigger than last time, which was some time ago... I think he is 54g now.. he flies a lot and doesn't over eat. maybe he is just bigger.
I will monitor it now weekly and if goes up more, will get him checked out

I think I started something here, so in line with everyone else, I list below the other buds weights, which are amazing as Pickle is the smallest and she weighs the same as Harvey who is my big boy!!
Harvey - 50 grams Missy - 56 grams (she is big boned!!) Charlie - 46 grams Pickle - 50 grams (she must be big boned too) Billy boy - 38 grams

Do you think this could be stress related..ie.could Harvey be picking up on your stress levels and it's causing him to have this problem? I have just typed a whole answer and completely lost it!! Oh well, here goes again.... I have used Fucidin (Isaderm) now for three weeks, not changing recently or any more. I will however, as you suggest, wash his feet twice a day now instead of once with the Cidal soap. If this fails he IS coming for a holiday with you! (Well - you did offer!!) No, I am very laid back, I don't think Harvey is stressed, and as I am quite calm I am sure he doesn't pick up on any anxiousness. He is really good when I catch him twice a day and hardly ever screeches like he did in the beginning. The Consultant I worked for used to say 'Shirley is so laid back she's almost horizontal!!'

Yes Marianne Marlow, Billy Boy is so tiny, to look at he looks the same size as Pickle! Missy is a big bird much on the same look as Harvey. Yes suesbird, I'm also big boned!!! Jo is no light weight is she? (in the nicest possible way of course!)

If you were going to pick one of mine for the heaviest, you would probably say Spyro; he is actually my lightest.

Oh, now, Mango is not tiny ....... she was once. She is the same size as Misty and Spyro thereabouts. Smudgie was my smallest bird, but she was also my heaviest. Maybe it is a girl thing.
