I have a 10-year-old St. Bernard named Brutus who hurt his shoulder a week ago. He was prescribed anti-inflammatories and gabapentin, but we ran out of anti-inflammatories and his arm is spasming, and he is in pain. Gabapentin is not helping. What can I do to alleviate his pain and should I consider CBD, chiropractic, or other therapies?

My 1.5-year-old Pit/Lab mix, Autumn, has diarrhea with spots of bright red blood after having a 'Busy Bone' treat. She is eating and acting normal, but her stool is almost all liquid and contains spots of bright red blood. She weighs about 50lbs and has not been dewormed recently. What should I do?

My dog, Rosie, a 5-year-old, has scab-like lesions on her neck and back end near her tail. She is very itchy, licking, and rolling on the floor to scratch herself. I tried using hydrogen peroxide to clean an area, but there are too many now. Is there anything I can do for her until I can get her to her vet on Monday?

My 55lb golden retriever puppy, Kodi, ate a small cotton sock that covers the heel and toes. It was less than 5 minutes ago, and he hasn't vomited yet. What should I do to help him?

My dog, Rosie, a 9-month-old weighing 10 lbs, is throwing up bone fragments a day after eating cooked bones. The vomit contains liquid and a small amount of foam, but no food except bone fragments. This started this morning, and she has vomited 5 times in 2 hours. She is drinking and even eating a little. Should I see an emergency vet?
