Im just enjoying this picture of what Twilight and Spike are doing.

I was just correcting any inaccuracies I was reading. That’s all.  

@Brokedownandmadeone  
Wow, you didn’t need to include all my comments but okay I’ll step back and accept I was wrong. Apparently I don’t remember the episode as well as I thought.

@GryphonStar5678 @GryphonStar5678  
The “pet size scale**” is actually for foals. It’s a stand-in for baby scales

It’s not an edit. https://i.imgur.com/Uy5ReKi.png

himself**. That’s Dr. Horse’s office.  

Secret of My Excess [episode]. This the the vet’s office: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mane_Goodall_here_you_go_S2E10.png

The x-ray is similar to a horse’s hoof. https://www.google.com/search?&q=hoof+x-ray It just has much less detail.
 
@MadVillain  
I forgot they went to that office again

Deadline or not we now have to find an in-universe reason for these confusions especailly since they used this background in two separate episodes five seasons apart.
 
Example the pet size weight is still in the newer version despite the lollipops have been updated in look.

@GryphonStar5678  
Keep in mind that the “ponies” in the show are only equine-like… whatever species they are, they not horses or ponies as we know them. The split toe could be a nod as to how they are able to lift and carry things. The real answer of course is that these were all background details that the show’s staff didn’t have time to quibble about while trying to meet impossible deadlines.

Hold on, are we sure this picture isn’t edited? I mean this would explain a lot of the confusion of Spike visiting a doctor when the only physician that was ever shown in that episode was the vet.
 
Plus Twilight looks rather… oversized especailly when compared to Spike who is supposed to be taller than her at this point in the episode.

@MadVillain  
Plus it never stated that the room Spike is being examined in is in a separate place from this picture. For all we know it could be just two different rooms in the same building.

@MadVillain  
Hmm, this doesn’t disproven the fact that hoof is not a pony’s hoof. If anything this shows that the vet and doctor use the same office. In which case, all mysteries example, like having lollipops near a pet size weight and other confusions are solved.

@GryphonStar5678  
You got it wrong, this is the doctors office, there’s even another picture of pony anatomy behind Spike. The same one they took Zecora to when she was sick.  

 
This is the Vet’s office.  

@Background Pony Number 17  
Also, the hoof as stated in a separate comment is very not of a pony since it has two toes. As for the suckers I have no idea what they are doing there.

@Background Pony Number 17  
Nope, rewatch the episode, it’s very much a veterinarian office. The Doctor herself even clarifies this when she states that Spike is not a dog so she can’t help them.

@GryphonStar5678  
This isn’t the veterinarian’s office. It’s the pediatrician’s, and presumably the chart is for a foal.

@Background Pony #0658  
That’s putting a lot of assumptions forth especailly when you realize how pointless it would be to even have a graph for ponies in a place where pets are worked on. After all, a dog’s skeletal structures and organ placement in the real world is very different from a pony. Plus wouldn’t it make more sense to have three different graphs, one for each species of pony, which each graph specializing in certain areas for each pony?
 
Example: a unicorn graph would have extra attention on the horn since it might be very similar to a rhino’s horn and that damage to it could be very dangerous while a pegasus graph would give more attention to the wings since without those a pegasus would surely die but just simply leaving their home.
 
And really even if they had three graphs in there it would still be rather pointless in a veterinarian office.

@GryphonStar5678  
The figure seems to have the same odd curved snout that the rather un-equine ponies in this show have. Compare to Twilight sitting there.

Problem, this is a veterinarian’s office as stated by the show. That graph is for a dog or a cat. Though the hoof being there just add more confusion especailly considering how small it is. Hmm, maybe it’s a pig’s foot. We know the Apple family keeps pigs as pets or possible food source for a certain dog.
