Does my budgie have mites

[Sienna…00]

Hi this is my budgie joey I did treat him for mites but nothing has improved as I saw his scaly nose and thought that might be mites , my dog has a few scabes which I don’t know leads to this but if someone can help me and tell me what I should do that would be brilliant!

Have you consulted an avian vet? I love his name- I have a budgie named Joey, too!

How did you treat Joey's "mites" ?

I got some mite things from pets at home

Is it an Ivermectin treatment? If not, you should. A vet, even a dog cat vet, can provide it for you.

Ivermectin is used for mites by putting one drop of it on the back of the bird's head. It gets absorbed through the skin from there and kills the mites systemically. There's also an oral ivermectin treatment. Any veterinarian can provide the correct formula for a budgie. Don't wait to get Joey treated. Mites are awful but so easy to treat.
