French Bulldog: at first there was blood from the anus, then bloody stool in large amounts, and afterward it passed normal stool.
Heavy bloody stool suggests digestive tract bleeding from mucosal injury, likely colon scratches by a swallowed foreign object or hard food (bones, glass, etc.). Seek a vet promptly for hemostatics, anti-inflammatory, and infection control.

My dog has redness and hair loss around its nose, eyes, and mouth; what could it be and how to treat it? Can I use the iodine and erythromycin we have at home?
Redness and hair loss around the eyes and mouth may be bacterial, fungal, or parasitic. A skin scraping at the vet is needed for targeted treatment. Demodex often affects those areas; if confirmed, use mite medications with mibemycin or ivermectin.
What does it mean when a dog passes wine-red, paste-like stool?
Bloody, paste-like stool with good energy likely indicates hemorrhagic enteritis, not parvovirus. Causes include irritating food, viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection. Timely veterinary examination is advised to prevent worsening.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
My dog has been lethargic and has no appetite for the past two weeks, vomits white foam, and anti-vomiting medicine didn’t help; I also found a hard lump on one nipple and two or three small hard lumps next to another nipple.
Vomiting foam and loss of appetite can signal serious illness such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or viral infection, not just a minor upset. Combined with nipple lumps, mammary tumor or breast cancer cannot be ruled out and needs veterinary assessment. Do not medicate at home; seek professional diagnosis and treatment.

What Should I Do If My Dog Is Very Weak After a Bath?
Weakness after a bath may be stress or chills. Keep warm, let it rest; usually recovers in about 2 days. If severe cold or stress signs, take measures; if runny nose or sneezing later, give pet cold medicine. Avoid bathing newly arrived dogs - they're anxious and easily stressed, lowering resistance.
My Dog’s Outer Ear Is Ulcerated and Crusted; at First It Was Just a Hard Scab, but Over Time the Wound Grew and the Fur Fell Away With the Scab, Revealing Slightly Red Skin

Causes: parasites (ear mites, scabies, ticks, fleas), ear inflammation, trauma. Symptoms: itch, scabs, scratching, dandruff. Fit e-collar, get skin scraping to identify cause, shave and clean, dress twice daily, do external deworming, keep environment dry and clean.
