	My 2yo filly has a problem with dragging her hind toes, vet came out flex her moved her around then came to the conclusion that she's just being lazy. Should go deeper into my pockets for xrays? Has anyone else had one with that problem?

The vet said that she had a fracture in her growth plate in her stifle, but after a second opinion it was really she was just growing unevenly & had no fracture. I'd get a second opinion & x-rays just to be safe and make sure there's nothing going on. Especially as young as she is.
