I would be concerned that there may be an infection inside the joint. It is lucky that Ginger Snap is not painful or having any trouble moving with her joint that swollen. If the antibiotics you had Ginger on were not helpful your vet may recommend a joint tap so they can culture the fluid and determine exactly what is going on. I would also recommend screening Ginger for tick borne diseases as these can cause joint swelling as well. Hope this helps!
