Barbaro had another good week
October 3, 2006
KENNETT SQUARE, PA – Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro had another good week, and continues to please veterinarians with his progress. “He is doing very, very well,” said Dr. Dean Richardson, Chief of Surgery. “His appetite and vital signs continue to be excellent.”
Veterinarians plan to change the colt’s right hind leg cast within the next week, if needed. Barbaro’s left hind hoof remains in a protective bandage, which is changed daily. He still goes out to walk and graze each day.
While pleased with Barbaro’s progress, Dr. Richardson is cautious about his prognosis. Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pennsylvania’s George D. Widener Hospital, where he is recovering from injuries suffered at the Preakness on May 20.
The next update will be posted on Tuesday, October 10, unless there is a significant change in Barbaro’s condition.
