KENNETT SQUARE, Pa., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Kentucky Derby champion Barbaro continues to gradually improve from injuries suffered in the Preakness, veterinarians in Pennsylvania said Tuesday.
Barbaro suffered injuries to three bones in and around his right hind ankle at the start of the Preakness on May 20. It was feared the horse, which had won the Kentucky Derby by 6 1/2 lengths, would have to be destroyed.
But Barbaro has been making progress while at the Intensive Care Unit of the University of Pennsylvania's George D. Widener Hospital, where veterinarians said the horse's improvement was gradual.
"He had an excellent week," said Dr. Dean Richardson, chief of surgery at the hospital.
Richardson said Barbaro is "enjoying his daily excursions outside to graze and his appetite is excellent."

and he wouldn't sell Lost in the Fog he loved the horse.
Owner is right, when he crosses Rainbow Bridge they will be together again.

Hurray! I've had too much going on and I thought this morning "it's Tuesday - I want to hear from Doc how Bobby is" - then the day got away from me. Thank you so much for the update!
Go Barbaro Go!

Saw that story on Lost in the Fog. First time I have heard of a horse having cancer and getting chemotherapy.

Ruffian was out of control when she came out of the anesthetic.
Now they lift the horse out of anesthetic in a pool so any thrashing doesn't harm the horse.

More prayers for Barbaro. There is a horse in my life that may need euthanasia Tx and I am very teary these days. I was teary reading Pope Benedict's speech too. I am so very saddened and teary by the goosestep scapegoating of President Bush. My tears runneth over...
