[Miss Lydia]

yes can see the damage much better. I wish I knew of something that would help.
Poor boy, I can tell he's in good hands.

Wow thank you! I guess I didn't realize how long this process would be. It makes sense if some of the tissue is black and hard already, while some is still blistered then. Like you said, we'll just take it a day at a time.

Do you have any advice with your 10 year old guy preening? Because mine can't balance, he can't really reach. He gets quite water logged pretty quickly and then I need to really dry him actively.

If their feet get to cold when they are out they will either stand on one foot and hold the other up into their feather to try and warm it or nestle down where they are to try and warm both feet. If it is that cold most if not all of them should be doing this, if you see this and they arnt going back in to warm up I would herd them all in to prevent damage, especially if this one is suffering from frost bite.
