Here is a pic of my poor roos foot. Any ideas what it is and the best way to take care of it? Does it look like frost bite? Thanks for any help.
 
I am sorry for you and poor roo. I don't have any idea other that try the search and hopefully someone who knows alot more than me will help you soon.
 
looks like frostbite..and might have some infection going on..
might try some antibiotic ointment..tho he might need a systemic as well..from a vet for treating staph or strept..

another ointment that might be good is Panalog..(Animax is the generic)

do the feet have an odor?

poor little guy...

confine him to a small very clean area to restrict movement.
clean feet with betadine tea..keep clean.
give aspirin for pain and help blood flow..5 (325mg) tablets crushed into 1 gallon of water.
give electrolytes
give extra protein
apply antibiotic ointment
get suitable systemic antibiotic and further advice from vet.
may need skin debridement to restrict spread of possible infection and healing.

fingers crossed.

I agree, looks like frostbite. I'm sorry, poor guy. I wish I could help but I have no idea what to do for frostbite when it's at such an advanced stage.
