Thank you, I'm glad I asked! I appreciate your help. <3

Hi all! I have a poor little Faverolles that has had her beard picked off by her sister. We're working on the picking issue, but this poor girl has a bare throat. The temps are supposed to dip below zero and I'm wondering what I can put on the bare area to prevent frostbite. When she drinks, her...
