Severe Frostbite On Cockerel

[MGG]

Hi, I have a huge English Orpington cockerel with an extremely large comb and big wattles. I've been keeping him separate this winter to try and keep him from getting frostbite. I loved how pretty his comb and wattles were, and haven't had a straight combed bird in a while. So I had him in a reinforced prefab coop on his own. I added lots of ventilation and have been keeping it very clean and dry. He had been doing great until yesterday.
Yesterday was -15 and 80% humidity, and I noticed that morning his comb and wattles were purple-y. I rubbed some Vaseline on the very gently and put him back. That evening I checked on him and his wattles were HUGE. They were full of fluid like balloons and so was the throat area in between them. His comb was extremely dark purple and just looked very painful. We were at a friend's house last night and when I got back it was late, so I just put him in the extra pen inside my shed. It's not insulated but I run a heater in there sometimes for my ducks.
What can I do? Is he going to lose his once beautiful comb and wattles?

I'll go out and get some pics in just a few.

He's breathing with his mouth open too, and shaking his head a lot. Probably because of how heavy his wattles are? He's still eating and drinking.

He won't lose much of his terrific comb, just the parts that are white and blistered. Don't rub anything else into his comb and wattles as that further hurts the damaged tissue. Keep him from freezing again.

He is gaping his beak and shaking his head because the wattles and comb hurt like the dickens. Those are very sensitive. Give him a whole chewable 81 grain aspirin in the morning and later in the day. It should help a lot with the pain.

Ok, thanks! It was only a tiny amount of Vaseline on the worst parts since I was almost out.
I have one syringe of metacam left over from another bird I had to take to the vet, should I give him that? It was dosed for a 1 lb bird though so it's not much.
I'll check and see if we have any aspirin.
Thanks!

Good?

Yes. That's the aspirin you want.

I'll give him one. Thanks!

Anywhere black is likely to gp, especially if it freezes again
