Barbaro remains stable; radiographs look good
July 28, 2006
KENNETT SQUARE, PA — Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro continues to be stable after another comfortable night according to Chief of Surgery Dean Richardson. His right hind leg cast was changed late Wednesday. “We took new radiographs, and they look good,” said Dr. Richardson. “No problems were evident.” In addition, the modified foot cast on Barbaro’s left hind foot, which has laminitis, is changed daily so the foot can be treated and watched for signs of infection.
“Barbaro has a strong appetite and he has been enjoying hand-picked grass daily and ‘healthy snacks,’” said Dr. Richardson.
Barbaro remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pennsylvania’s George D. Widener Hospital.
