This work was carried out on one fetus, one newlyborn, 3 young and 35 adult donkeys of different sexes and ages. The morphology of the bursae was studied as regard to the shape, position, relation as well as the frequency of its occurance and the suitable site of injection. The bursae of the shoulder include; the subcutaneous bursa of the spine of the scapula, B. subtendinea M. coracobrachialis, B. subtendinea M. infraspinati, B. subtendinea M. subscapularis, B. subtendinea M. teretis minoris, B. intertubercularis, the proximal subtendinous bursa of the brachiocephalic muscle, the distal sub tendinous bursa of the brachiocephalic muscle and the bursa of the M. subclavius. From the clinical point of view there is no comm unication between these bursae and the adjacent joint capsule of the shoulder joint.
