There is a peculiar outwardslipping movement of the shoulder joint. It would almost ap-pear as if the shoulder were out of joint; hence the termshoulder slip. This peculiar action of the shoulder is causedby the external muscles losing their contractile power. Aninjury to the muscles sets up an inflammatory action, which re-sults in atrophy of the muscles. Cause.—It may be caused in various ways, by direct or indi-rect injury. It is most commonly seen in young horses, whoseundeveloped muscles are more susceptible to injury than thoseof a mature horse. It may be caused by putting the horse towork too soon. The plough is a very frequent cause. Jars,jerks, jolts, bruises, concussion, or any injury to the shoulderwill produce the disease. (187).
