Day one there was a small spot I ignored; day two it grew; not sure if scratched open or ringworm; inside is a bit broken, but the ear is clean.
Likely ringworm; confirm with Wood's lamp or skin scrape. It is fungal, on face/ears/limbs/tail/body, forming round patches with severe itch. Use an Elizabethan collar, shave 1-2cm, disinfect with iodine, apply terbinafine/itraconazole; disinfect the environment.
Can I ask about a dog? A 9-year-old unspayed female Teddy that recently drinks a lot, coughs after exercise, and coughed all day today.
Cough after exercise or drinking in an old female is likely heart issues (airway compression) or pneumonia/bronchitis/pulmonary edema with phlegm. Being senior, heart/lung disease is likely; get a vet check for the cause.
Why does my kitten keep tearing up?

Holes Appeared on My Cat’s Abdomen; the Vet Said It’s a Bacterial Infection
Cat skin ulceration and redness have many causes: (1) an existing wound licked repeatedly, then infected, causing redness and ulcer; (2) parasite or fungal infection left untreated, then mixed bacterial infection. Per the photo, dense holes and bruising suggest progressing to cellulitis; take the cat for cytology and debridement, use antibacterials, and keep the e-collar on strictly.
Why Is My Cat’s Ear Skin Red, Hairless, and Flaky?
Based on the photo, the cat's ear skin shows redness, hair loss, and flaking, possibly from scabies mite infection, but fungal or bacterial infection or allergic dermatitis cannot be ruled out. Feline allergic dermatitis may be from fleas or other parasites, or from dust, pollen, food. Use antibacterial anti-inflammatory sprays/ointments plus antibiotics, and keep the cat away from allergens.
My Labrador hasn’t eaten for nearly four days, only drinks water, had a bloated belly, then grayish-white diarrhea, thick eye discharge, and just lies down—what is wrong?
Four days without food plus bloating, grayish-white loose stool, and eye discharge means serious trouble; if unvaccinated it may be distemper, parvo, corona, or worms. Home observation risks dehydration and death—seek emergency vet care with fluids and tests.

Dirty ears may be ear-mite, bacterial, or fungal infection, or just lack of cleaning. Itch or more discharge suggests ear disease; get a skin test at the vet and clean ears and deworm regularly.
