Sweeney is a foreleg lameness related to malfunctions of the shoulder blade or muscles. The malfunctions are associated with one of two reasons: 1) The muscles are reduced in size because the forelimb has not been in use due to another lameness, or 2) The nerve that supplies the shoulder blade muscles is damaged by trauma, such as a collision. Although the prognosis is guarded, your veterinarian can provide options for therapy.
