My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.

My Mini Pinscher’s eyes have become cloudier than before, with red blood vessels, constant tearing, and a bluish film above the eye. I bought neomycin sulfate eye drops at the hospital—how is it now?
The dog may have keratitis and conjunctivitis. The cloudy bluish membrane is usually from corneal damage and keratitis; red vessels and tearing are from conjunctivitis. Seek veterinary care; if unavailable, rinse with 3% boric acid and apply antibiotic/corneal-repair drops 4 to 6 times daily.

How High Blood Pressure Affects Dogs
High blood pressure harms a dog's eyes, heart, kidneys, and nervous system. It can cause retinal damage and vision loss, heart enlargement and failure, kidney failure, and stroke or paralysis. Owners should watch for signs and see a veterinarian, who may measure blood pressure and suggest a low-salt, low-fat diet or medication. Risk rises with obesity, age, genetics, diabetes, thyroid or kidney disease, and stress. Prevention includes regular checkups, a healthy weight, calm surroundings, and daily exercise.
