I have a heifer that was bottle raised and has been healthly until the last two months. She is 17 months old, current on shots worming etc. She had swollen knee joints in her front, vet has given her shots every other day to relieve pain, I put linament on her knees 3 x a day. She got 100% better, then this week it's in her back leg. Any idea what she may have, the vet is stumped. Any ideas are appreciated. She is just a big pet. Thanks
 
did the vet give her an antibiotic? if not i would say she could use one. if she is in a lot with cement, she needs to get out on some grass where she can move good. she could be bruising them on something. lot of holsteins in a barn on concrete would do that
