Our large dog, Roscoe, needs surgery for his pinnae hematoma. He has never tolerated the collar to prevent disruption of surgery, and we are considering using medical marijuana gummies to calm him for a couple of weeks. He is currently taking heartguard and galiprant for arthritis. What are the safe and effective options for managing his discomfort post-surgery, considering our financial constraints?

My dog, Tucker, a 6-year-old, 70 lb golden retriever, has a horizontally split nail from tip to bottom. It's not bleeding. Can I use nail glue to seal it, and what kind of antiseptic can I use to clean it?

My 1-year-old American Pit Bull, Doobie, has a large scab on the back of his neck that has dried up and looks like it's about to fall off. There is yellow dried stuff around it, and his fur has fallen off around it. He has a history of skin allergies, and he was scratching intensely at his neck before the scab formed. What could be causing this, and how should I treat it?

I have a 2-year-old dog named Ayme. Recently, I've noticed mucus in her stool and she seems to have lower energy than usual. Her stools have been softer than normal with mucus, but no blood. She's not vomiting and her eating is fine, though she's not drinking much water. This morning, she was whining, which I think might be due to discomfort. Additionally, she's been licking things a lot, especially in the mornings, which I read could be a sign of acid reflux. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
