Had one Sprain a Front Shoulder one time... Thought he was fine after 2 weeks Went out and ended up putting him up for over 2 mo Went out to early he seemed fine But We were just Inpatient So it took longer to heal the second time around......
Depending on how bad i would say 3 weeks Minimum!!!!
From Field to Show and Show to Field the way it should be
