It’s been nearly a month; the area around the eye is red and hasn’t improved with medication
Redness around a dog's eye can be from eye disease, mite infection, or allergies. For example, if the dog rubs its eye and injures it, causing redness and inflammation, generally antibiotic eye drops are used after cleaning with saline. If redness persists, it may be parasites or food or dust allergies; improve diet and environment and see a vet.
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.

How can a Labrador gain weight?
Labradors tend to gain weight easily; a thin body may mean insufficient nutrition or health issues. Choose a higher-protein, higher-fat kibble and add egg yolk, chicken breast, beef, fish and canned treats in small frequent meals.

Why does my Bichon’s belly twitch?
Belly twitching in a Bichon can come from encephalitis, distemper, calcium deficiency, or parasites. Encephalitis causes continuous twitching with circling, confusion, and drooling—seek care fast. Calcium deficiency twitching improves with calcium; parasite pain also causes twitching, needing deworming.
My puppy is passing white stuff
A just-weaned puppy passing white stool points to gut disorder from milk, spoiled formula, bacterial or parasite infection, or white food, even passing clear jelly-like mucosa. Adjust the diet to normal food, add some probiotics, and if it persists with low energy or appetite, see a vet for a fecal test and deworm carefully by weight to protect the gut lining.
My pet lost a patch of fur on its tail with white dandruff, and is passing worms
Tail hair loss with dandruff is usually a skin disease, and worms from the anus are usually intestinal parasites. Take the dog to the vet for a skin scraping to identify the skin disease and a fecal test for the parasite, then use the right topical medicine and an internal dewormer, and deworm monthly to avoid reinfection.
Where can I buy fipronil; is it available at regular human pharmacies?
Fipronil is not sold in regular human pharmacies; it is usually available at veterinary clinics and online pet pharmacies. It is a broad-spectrum insecticide for fleas, ticks, and other external parasites on dogs and cats; if ingested it is toxic to people and animals, so it is sold only as a topical drop and must never be taken by mouth. Common fipronil-based external parasite products include spot-on drops and sprays.
What Happens If a Teddy Eats Feces?
