Chapala, I will definitely let you know after a few days if it made a difference. And thanks for the suggestion of the natural zupreem instead.

You know what bothers me? That no one at the vet hospital suggested it might be the food dyes.

Yes, I think that's strange too that your vet didn't think of that, especially after no signs of injury were found. My Grey will have a red or purple foot after he eats a berry, or some other color with juicy, colored food. Also, some dyes on wooden toys will run if wet at all. Some birds put toy pieces in their water bowl, pick it up, then have a colored foot.

Haha, well I feel a lot better hearing about all these colored feet-my breeder just informed me that it happens with hers also, but comes right off in the shower. Jezebel's hasn't come right off in the shower, but it is a little less colored. I really have to wait a bit longer and see if it clears up!

Just thought I'd mention that Jezebel's foot is still brownish but at this point I have given up trying to figure it out. Now I'm concentrating on getting her to start talking!
