Its whole body is covered in these black spots
From the photo the dog's belly has black spots, likely folliculitis or superficial pyoderma from bacteria, often from a damp environment; confirm with a skin scrape. Clean with saline, disinfect with diluted peroxide or iodine, apply antibiotic ointment, and use oral antibiotics or medicated baths with an Elizabethan collar; disinfect the environment.
At first loose stool with a soybean-sized lump on the belly, then bloody loose stool, but the belly lump shrank and nearly vanished
Loose stool with blood usually means gut infection or damage from parasites or a foreign object scraping the gut, but parvovirus, bacterial enteritis, or constipation are also possible. See a vet to find the cause; for parasites, deworm and use gut-lining repair drugs and probiotics.
My puppy ran out and was hit by an e-bike; when I picked it up its leg could not touch the ground, but after 10 minutes it could stand, though it limps, falls easily, is lethargic, and keeps crying; what medicine?
After being hit, the dog cannot walk, is lethargic, and keeps crying, suggesting internal injuries and bone problems, so see a vet soon. The limp may be a fracture or dislocation needing an X-ray; do not miss possible internal injury, so get a full check to avoid permanent harm.
Why does a Poodle eat poop?

What if distemper is treated without monoclonal antibody?
Monoclonal antibody is a virus-specific drug that boosts immunity against distemper; it's commonly used. Without it, infection may worsen with complications. Interferon/serum help but less clearly. Use enough, ideally early; severe cases combine with antivirals, fever reducers, fluids for electrolytes.
Which squirrel species is relatively large?
The giant squirrel is among the world's largest, about 40 cm body and 60 cm tail, up to 2 kg—cat- or small-dog-sized, called the 'tree dog.' Despite its size, it is as gentle and likable as other squirrels, with high looks: black back and tail, white or rusty-yellow head-below-eyes and belly.
How cold-resistant is a Labrador?
Although short-haired, Labradors have a double coat and sturdy muscles, so cold tolerance is generally strong. However, puppies are less developed and more susceptible to colds in low temperatures. In winter, provide a warm, comfortable environment and dog clothing outdoors, plus nutrition to boost resistance.
There are red patches, looks like a skin disease, with hair loss.
From the photo, many black dots on the abdomen are likely folliculitis from bacterial infection and excess oil blocking pores, worsened by damp floors, allergies, or bites, leading to folliculitis or pyoderma. Licking oxidizes saliva enzymes, turning fur red-brown. Use an e-collar, shave and clean the area, apply disinfectant and antibiotics; if no improvement in 3 to 5 days, get a skin exam.
After shaving last night I found many small gray-brown spots on the skin (over ten), on the back and waist, like scabs stuck on but not crusted, with two slightly red areas. Itchy, with scratching, for four or five days.
From the photo and description, many gray-brown scales and spots likely indicate a mixed fungal and bacterial skin infection. Inflammatory stages show red bumps; healing leaves gray-brown patches like acne marks. A skin exam is advised; keep the coat dry.
