Month old calf - struggled from birth. Appeared to have a mild case of joint ill - just enough swelling to make you wonder if something were a little off. Got around ok - had enough money into him already so he either had to fish or cut bait. Today I see the skin on both knees has actually broken open - almost as if he'd been drug across the pavement on his knees, but he's actually acting quite a bit better and the swelling is down. Is that really joint ill? Maybe some weird kind of infection? But in BOTH knees? I'll try to get some pics.
 
I've seen some of those kind of calves walk on their knees. Maybe that caused it.

Maybe the swelling is down due to the knees being open and they drained? Good luck, that is a tough one to fix.
