Navel ok. No limping but joint is large. Maybe a puncture? Appetite good. Have penicillin. Ideas?

Have you given the calf the penicillin? I just lost a calf so my instinct would be to just give it the penicillin. Mine was navel ill but the only signs I had was a slight cough and her just acting a little off. It then eventually swelled her joints and she developed pneumonia. I was using LA200. @WildRoseBeef what do you think?

This afternoon the knee looks almost normal . Still frisky and hungry.
