[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 1554645, member: 969"] IMO you should check its temp ASAP and treat with antibiotics if it is elevated. If the temp is normal, waiting may be okay. Costs nothing but a couple of minutes to check and the benefits can be enormous. If it is from a navel infection, the joint symptoms indicate it is spreading and untreated it could result in permanent issues or death. The longer you wait, the harder it is to treat because antibiotics have a hard time getting to the joint area where the infection is. [/QUOTE]
