Idk if this is the same disease as rare hip spot, or is unrelated, but prob it is related somehow.

Also as in rear spot case, it prob doesnt affect all males the same, as Lambile struggles with it from young age, while Bboy Tinyo was in peak condition at 10.

It might be genetic related, all this 3 males came from Birmingham bloodline.

Frst post in this thread says that black spot disease is prob some kind of babeosis bacteria disease, which was seen at 7th Birmingham breakaway male who was tested, so idk.

I posted a video of S8, just a few days ago, he was sporting a new limp, and had a mark on his right shoulder identical to that of Lambile. In the video, the person speaking (possibly the guide), stated they believe it was from some sort of scuffle, likely from a hunt since he actively appeared to have something caught in his throat. Haven't seen much about him since, but in this case, I would say it would be one time I would be hoping for an injury from some conflict, as opposed to this sort of illness. He has way too many cubs, to have something happen at this point in time. Reply
