[RC] filly with stifle problem - A. PerezArggg! Just found someone interested in leasing my 2 yo filly, and she turns up lame. Vet diagnosed a stifle problem, probably hyper extended it. Says its the middle tendion (ligament?). Put her on bute for 5 days. yesterday (end of treatment) I trailered her to her new 'home' for a trial period. She spent the night in the stall, then was turned out (with my gelding for company: he is staying with her for awhile). Apparently she was OK for awhile, then after a little cantering around is now favoring that leg again. The gal who is keeping her said, when she went out to check on them, Lexi pivoted on her haunches and her leg made a horrible crunch, after which see seemed less lame. Could it have been a displaced patella popping back into place? Any other guesses? I have not seen her move since I dropped her off so I can't give details as to exactly how 'off' she is.
