no, he developed an infection in his broken leg, and that infection could have been a contributor to him developing laminitis in his other leg...both legs are now in a cast. one for the original injury, the other to support his hoof--since 80% is now gone. i've been keeping up with his progress while i was away--just got back home a couple hours ago, and read up on the press conference. sounds grim. barbaro has come a long way, here's hoping he can continue his journey HERE.

The press conference was almost ten hours ago . The horse had a quiet and comfortable afternoon, and was visited by his Fair Hill vet who reported him comfy and recieving treats at 6 pm ... Local news and TV reportage maqy be skewed and out dated . Pictures taken today are up on Yahoo under Sports . The horse looks bright and alert . Dr. Richardson and the Jacksons are basing all treatment on the attitude and functions of the horse . He is doing well considering the graveness of the situation . That is the best we can hope for .

I just read on Bloodhorse that the Jacksons were only receiving a trickle of messages now on the New Bolton website. Might be a good time to send them a message of support. I'm sure this has to be their darkest hour. I sent them one, but I got so emotional, I thought wasn't going to be able to finish it, but I did. I think those people at New Bolton and the Jacksons deserve everybody's thanks just for making the effort that they did. God bless them.

question about laminitis.
How long does it take the infection to heal? I mean where the horse is somewhat out of the woods? I read that it is gonna take many many months before Barbaro is out. The more this goes on, the more I am strarting to feel sorry for him, in that stall for so many months, not being able to go outside and be normal. An animal should not live that way.
