I don't know if your vet would consider this, but if it turns out this is what it is...my avian vet put Sooky on atarax (antihistamine) in his water. Maybe there are a lot of drugs like this that would be an option? It was given to make the area less itchy and to relax him so he would not concentrate on it. But it did make him very sleepy. And there was nothing sadder than a sleepy Goffin all day long, I am so used to him being crazy.
But the good part was he was not on it long at all, just a few days until the scab healed over. I stopped it after it sealed over and he left it alone but the days before I took him he would not leave it alone and then it was bleeding and I was a wreck, I know exactly how you are feeling. I just have a suspicion she is not at all plucking but more something like this.
