Dogs shoulder joint dislocated..

My dog dislocated his shoulder when he jumped off the stair case.
Am I able to pop my dogs shoulder back into place?  Or will he need to see a veterinarian?

Please do take your dog to the vet as soon as you can. If you were trained, then yes, you could probably do this....but otherwise, no.
This must be very painful so I would get him to the vet quickly.

I also recommend seeing a veterinarian.  He or she can evaluate it and see what is best for treatment.  Even a simple relocation procedure often requires some sedation and the skill to know exactly how to do it best.  Best wishes for your dog.
