Unfortunately he was gone. We got him slowly thawed but it became apparent yesterday that he was not alive sadly. Thank you everyone for your advice, I appreciate all

Thank you for the link. He's soft and rather limp now so either he's thawing and alive or not. His mouth is open too, really not sure what that means but we've gotten him from 23 degrees F outside gradually up to about a 75 degree F bath over 5 hours.
