My dog has a lump on her shoulder after playing. Is it dislocated?

Question

My dog has a small size lump on her shoulder. She was rolling around and playing with a dog. She is walking perfectly fine. She doesn't cry at all. Still very playful.But I still want to know if it is even possible for it to stil be dislocated ? I'm hoping it's just a swollen lump from playing with the dog.

No, if she is not lame or painful, the shoulder is not likely to be dislocated. There are many possible casues for swellings including soft tissue trauma and bruises but if it is persisting longer than 3-5days or becomes uncomfortable I would recommend a full physical exam by your vet
