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.

My dog has large-area hair loss and is shedding frantically
Large shedding has many causes. Dogs molt twice a year (spring and autumn) in a whole-body regular pattern without itch or eczema. But local loss with itch, redness, scabs, or symmetric loss suggests fungal, bacterial, mite, nutritional, or endocrine skin disease. The photo shows large loss, redness, and scabs on the hindquarters, likely pathological from skin disease; see a vet and do not feed human food, keep coat clean.

My cat has gray spots on its skin
Gray spots can have several causes: pigmentation (common in poor-nutrition, vitamin-deficient, or aging cats, usually needing no treatment but coat supplements), skin infection (bacteria, fungus, parasites, with dandruff, itching, redness, hair loss — see a vet), depigmenting disease like vitiligo, or other disease such as tumors or allergy. Treat per the vet.

I came home and found my hamster lying still and motionless
A motionless hamster can mean several things. Check for illness signs like weakness, stiffness, vomiting, diarrhea, rough coat, or low temperature, and see a vet if so. It may also be observing new things, frightened into stillness, or in pseudo-hibernation or apparent death; watch the situation and consult a vet if the cause is unclear.
