I have a 9-year-old male stinger spaniel named Oliver with lymphedema in one hind leg. The leg is swollen to triple its normal size, does not hurt, but gets very wet and prone to yeast infections. He has been treated with steroid shots for arthritis shown in x-rays, and is currently taking gabapentin. We are running out of ideas and think he might need antibiotics again. What can we do for at-home care and are there alternative treatments available?

Our dog, Pippin, had surgery to remove a lump on his shoulder, and now three more have come back. Is it like human cysts where if you leave the sack, the cyst will grow back? What should we ask the vet?

My dog has a tennis ball sized firm/hard ulcerated/necrotic/oozing open tumor attached to the deep muscle layer, caudal right thigh. This was the initial assessment at the humane society. The police came and took her away from my wife and suspected her of neglect. I'm not sure what's going on but I need to get it treated. How much would that cost be?

My dogs, Lily (5 years old) and Missy (14 years old), both weighing 10lbs, ate approximately 4 or 5 small red grapes within the last 2 hours. They have eaten grapes before in smaller quantities without issue, but I am concerned about this larger amount. What should I do?
