Why Is My Cat Crying Reddish-Brown Tears?
Reddish-brown tear discharge in cats can be caused by overly salty food, a blocked nasolacrimal duct, or eye inflammation. Determine the specific cause from the actual situation and treat accordingly. If the cat recently ate salty food, it may be 'internal heat' causing more discharge that oxidizes to reddish-brown—adjust to a bland diet and offer more water. If the eyes are also red and swollen, inflammation is likely; see a vet.
What to Do When a Red-Eared Slider’s Eyes Are Swollen

My rabbit’s eye was watering, so I used chloramphenicol eye drops, and this morning I found a white spot inside the eye. What is this white spot?

The skin near the hind leg has brown spots, the fur is yellowish, and it previously had ringworm and was treated with an antifungal spray.

Black Egg-Like Spots Behind the Ears and on the Eyes, with Hair Loss Around Them
The black dots may be dirt or flea feces; with hair loss, a flea infection is likely. Use a cat-specific topical dewormer on the rabbit (careful dose) and clear fleas from the hutch and surroundings.
My Cat Had a Bald Spot with a Sesame-Sized Scar on Its Head; That’s Gone but a New One Appeared on the Body
The bald spot may be an old injury scar or follicle damage. If there's no itching, pain, or other sign and hair regrows, no worry. If hair loss worsens or other signs appear, see a vet.
Brownish, fairly large, two or three patches, mainly on the rear of the body, on the skin. Parting the fur and touching it makes the dog flinch in pain.
From the photo the dog shows scabs or dandruff; with pain it may be from trauma, or a mixed bacterial and fungal infection. Shave the area, spray a wound spray, use an Elizabethan collar, and see a vet for a skin test if it spreads.
