Twice this week Dippy has had a running/playing mishap, where the first time she ran into a dog at speed and knocked her shoulder out a bit and the second time she was having a bit of rough and tumble play when the same thing happened again...it was the same shoulder.

I manipulated her leg and shoulder and massaged it for a while and it went back to normal.

She walks stiffly for a few hours and doesn't seem to be in any pain or discomfort afterwards, although she screams like a banshee when its happening.

I've this happen to Inca before and it was the vet that showed me how sort it out.

Has anyone else's dog had this happen and is it a "normal" thing to happen.

I'm just concerned that its happened twice in the space 3 days.

I think if it happnes agin i would put her on lead only excersic for a few days at least to give time for the mussles and ligaments to get back to normal. if a human pops a sholder they have to were a sling for some time and be very carefull it dosnt go back out. if it keeps happening I would go back to the vets

Thanks Wendy, thats something the vet didn't advise when it happened to Inca but it does make sense.

You new pup is gorgeous Wendy...when do I get to meet her?

shes only 7 weeks so need her jabs first but as soon as shes jabed and chiped i will let you know shes very tiny only just over 4lb so she will be 1/2 the size of inca when shes big lol
