The Bendigo Equine Hospital has provided an update on Melbourne Cup winner Subzero’s condition which was deteriorating until a visit from his owner Graham.
Subzero continues to receive treatment at the Bendigo Equine Hospital in which they provided the below update on his conditions.
“He had a rough start to the day but has improved throughout the morning with ongoing treatment and a visit from the Salisbury family. We are in awe of the relationship and interaction between Graham and Subbie; as soon as Graham and family arrived Subbie pricked his ears up and is now eating whilst being hand-fed by Graham.”
“We are very much aware of both Subbie’s age and the depth of affection for him from both Graham and his family and the wider community. Our role as veterinarians is to always be mindful of the best interests of the horse and ensure he is comfortable whilst he is being treated. These are also the express wishes of Graham and his family.”
“He’s not out of the woods yet; but at the moment he continues to try hard. He wants to give it a go; so we will continue to try and help him.”
“Due to the overwhelming love for and interest in Subbie, Graham and Nikki have asked us to provide these daily updates on Subbie’s treatment and progress.”
Subzero won the Melbourne Cup in 1992 and has battled two life threatening conditions since.
