Ricardo, the bull that rose to fame and captured hearts when he trotted along New Jersey Transit tracks in December, has been fighting an infection since Christmas, according to the animal sanctuary that rescued him, but is doing "great."
"Ricardo is doing great, he’s on the mend, and we’re waiting for the wound to be totally healed, and then we’ll bring him home," said Mike Stura, the president and founder of Skylands Animal Sanctuary and Rescue.
In a Christmas Eve update on Facebook, Skylands posted a video from Cornell Large Animal Hospital featuring Ricardo.
A voiceover said Ricardo had had an abrasion — described in a later post as a "half-dollar sized road rash" — on his right hind leg since the sanctuary got him.
It took Ricardo to the vet, and he was put on antibiotics for the problem. At the time, he was fine, the voice said.
