5 degree celcius is still pretty cold (im in NZ so our temps are similar)
If you have to wash then take towels and keep her covered till dry
I would wash in sections - then towel dry and leave dry towels/blanket over her till she had dried,..... Just try keep her warm
I wash my girl in winter (If she sweats up) but I use warm water and towel dry her (In sections again keeping her covered as possible in btween)then cover her with a wool sheet till she drys and then I put her synthetic cover on to turn out
Not sure on the tail bandage question.... You can leave tail bags on though....
