[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9640"] Correction! There is a shoulder joint, but the scapula is attached to the body by a muscle sling. This is called a synsarcoidial joint. There is most definitely a shoulder joint where the humerus attaches to the scapula. Dislocations can occur in this area but are uncommon. The joint will be visibly abnormal, non-weightbearing to very slightly weightbearing. Without replacement back into the joint, the animal will be permanently lame. It is far more likely a torn joint capsule, however. Ask your vet! Good Luck V > There is no actual joint on the > shoulder of cattle.
