Bess is a 7-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who had a back leg injury several years ago. The joint is very swollen and flares up occasionally while exercising. We have been managing this with Metacam, but it's no longer helping. What additional treatments or interventions can be considered for Bess's osteoarthritis?

My Australian Cattle Dog, Callie, has multiple small bumps near the lash line of both eyes, slightly worse on the left. The bumps do not seem to be scratched, and there is no redness or discharge. This has happened before and resolved on its own within a week, but this time it's a bit worse. What could be causing these bumps, and what can I do to help?

My dog, Jeter, a 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, jumped and got a significant gash. I couldn't get her to a vet tonight as they were all booked. What can I do to manage her wound until I can get her to a vet?

I have two dogs and I think at least one of them ate a grape. There were probably ten grapes on a plate, and I'm unsure if both dogs ate some or if only one had the rest. Boyd is older, at least 12, and Rosie is about 9. Boyd weighs about 90 pounds, and Rosie is 45 pounds. Rosie is a hound mix, possibly beagle. What should I do to ensure their safety?
