    Not too sure if a 2 year old charolais bullock 520kg has a dislocated shoulder or not, his left leg and shoulder appears to be set back from normal and is lifting it while standing but putting some pressure on it while walking, still very mobile but he is lying down a lot. doesn't seem to be in pain or distress only he may probably lose condition if he's not nimble on his feet. ive examined him for so long that I kinda am not sure if he's lame but its probably a fresh pair of eyes I need to look at him.

    has anyone had a dislocated shoulder before ?

    get vet out then!

    if your correct have the vet certify him and send him to the factory... assuming he does not have to go through any withdrawl period from treatments.

    or stick him in your freezer.

    not necessarily I have since got number from a friend for an animal physiotherapist that he used before for same problem and he's confident he's fixable so at least ill probably get to finish him and send to factory, :cool:

    When you lift up leg can he fight it. If he cannot fight you lifting leg it is the shoulder. Look at the hoof get a hoof knife and clean along bottom and between hoof's. see if any particular part is very sore if it is clean out same. Use allymysin spray on infection for a few days if you can find same
