Hi
Unfortunately it sounds like your dog might be developing mastitis, basically infection of the mammary glands which leads to abscessation. If they feel hard and hot then this is definitely the case. Your dog would need antibiotics ASAP in that case, there is no home remedy unfortunately. Any ulcerated areas can be washed with salty water, but that will not resolve the infection inside.
Good luck

Hi
A consultation is normally around $50. The vet then gives an injection of antibiotic to get it straight into the system, and then 2wks of tablets. The antibiotics would be a further $50 or so, but prices vary considerably.
Expect to pay $100-$150 for the whole thing.
Good luck
