Help.. swollen elbow??

[Shammie]

I just noticed my 3 week old had a swollen elbow.. what could this be from??

It could be an abscess forming. What is the history of this little one? How long have you had him/her? Any injuries upon intake that you’re aware of?

He was brought to me a week ago. He was found on concrete next to his deceased sibling. There were no visible cuts or wounds when I received him. Hes still using this arm and crawling around doesn't seem to be causing him pain.

Does the area feel soft or hard? is it visibly growing on a daily basis? Wet the fur and see if there is any puncture or hole that you can find.

(Beautifully chunky lil guy, BTW. Good job!)

It feels hard and seems to be growing. No signs of any wounds
