I can't remember exactly what it is called...there is a condition caused by bacteria entering via the umbilicus, entering the blood stream, and then settling in a joint or joints. Generally, it is treated with antibiotics. BUT, I would think any large animal or farm vet would know this. Found it, "Joint-ill" is what it is called.
