Wikipedia schreef:A significant setback and death
Early in January 2007, the laminitic left hoof became the source of more complications. On January 10, Dr. Richardson announced that another section of the hoof had been surgically removed.[18] Updates over the next few days revealed that the cast had been reapplied to Barbaro's right hind leg for support, and that aggressive pain management and the support sling had been resumed. Nevertheless, Richardson emphasized that the setback was not altogether unexpected and that Barbaro's condition was better than it had been the previous July.
In another setback Barbaro developed a deep abscess in his right hind foot. Additional surgery was performed on January 27 to insert two steel pins into the healed bones of Barbaro's right foot. This would allow the right foot to bear more weight, but the procedure is risky, with the major danger being that the bones might break again.[19][20]
The final turning point may have come when Barbaro's front legs, which had remained healthy throughout the ordeal, fell prey to laminitis late in the weekend. Once this had happened, Barbaro could not comfortably put his weight anywhere.
Barbaro was euthanized on January 29, 2007 around 10:30 AM EST by decision of his owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, who indicated that they felt that his pain was no longer manageable.[21]

Als je hem op dit filmpje ook ziet lopen, kun je je niet voorstellen dat hij ooit weer normaal had kunnen lopen
