*Prolonged cold can cause ice crystal formation and vascular injury resultic in damage to tissue due to increased intracellular salt concentration
*Slow chilling can cause vasoconstriction, cellular damage -> secondary vasodilation and increased permeability -> oedema
*Severe and persistent cold causes vasoconstriction, increase in blood viscosity and tissue anoxia
*Lesions may occur in wet or hypoglycaemic neonates or animals recently moved from warm to cold environment
*Areas affected are extremities
*Lesions consist of [[Necrosis - Pathology#Gangrene|gangrene]] and necrotic tissue
