A 5 mo old English setter dog was presented with mild left forelimb lameness. Physical examination revealed pain upon shoulder palpation and extension. Mediolateral radiographs of both shoulders showed a subchondral bone defect in the mid-portion of the glenoid cavity.

Subchondral bone cysts of the glenoid cavity and incomplete fusion of the supraglenoid tubercle were also observed. Arthroscopic removal of the fragment led to a favorable outcome.
