We've sprayed his legs with Savlon spray and rubbed them with Vaseline petroleum jelly, which provided some relief for him. We've also sprinkled his pen with 'Total Mite-Kill' powder, otherwise known as diatomaceous earth (which is made up of silica-shelled fossilised diatoms. Diatoms are algae.)
However, researching further, we've read about scaly leg mite and feel pretty sure that this is the problem:
"Scaly leg is a disease caused by a parasitic mite (known as cnemidocoptes mutans) that burrows under the scales of the legs or feet, where it causes great irritation."
We bought some Net-Tex Just for Scaly Leg spray, and it looks like Tom's about to get relief from his 'great irritation'.
Just For Scaly Leg is said to:
Suffocate and kill the scaly leg parasites instantly.
Provide immediate relief against itching and irritation.
Give a synergised blend of repellents and natural oils to provide a protective coating and prevent further infestation of the affected area.
