My dog was excited before eating, then lethargic after, lies still, eats only a little meat, passed soft stool with faint blood, then whines, sits restlessly, and keeps pawing at its face
Based on the signs, the dog likely has an esophageal or gastrointestinal blockage from eating too fast or hard food like bones, causing throat pain and restlessness (hence pawing the face). If choking, use the Heimlich maneuver; it may also be allergy or acute gastritis, or parasites/parvovirus. See a vet for a full check.
What happens when a dog has an upset stomach?

Two-month-old kitten with blood in stool, suspected cat litter ingestion, prolapse from diarrhea, vomiting; corona virus weakly positive at the clinic, diagnosed with gastroenteritis
Blood in the stool and vomiting in a young kitten call for ruling out panleukopenia and parasites. With weak corona positivity it may be corona virus enteritis or a foreign-body issue; follow the vet's plan.
Dog flipped over at night, suddenly gasped and retched, I thought something was stuck; back pats brought nothing up, recovered after a few minutes then slept; about two hours later the gasping happened again and stopped after a few seconds
Reverse sneezing or gagging can come from an esophageal foreign body, respiratory infection, or cold-air irritation of the nose. Recurring episodes warrant a vet visit.
Not eating, keeps vomiting; didn’t yesterday but vomited again today
Causes include acute gastroenteritis or obstruction (from bad food, foreign bodies, hairballs), parasites, viruses (panleukopenia, coronavirus) or internal disease. See a vet for biochemistry if appetite and vomiting persist.
No diarrhea, no vomiting, normal spirits and appetite, but blood drips after defecation.
Blood after stool may be constipation, parasites, foreign-object scratches, proctitis, or perianal tumor. Hard stool suggests constipation hurting the mucosa; give water and probiotics. Hard stool after hard objects suggests scratches; use anti-inflammatory and see a vet if it continues. Soft stool needs fecal test for coccidia, whipworm, roundworm; then deworm. If all fail, consider tumor via colonoscopy.
Common Parrot Eye Diseases and Treatment
Parrots commonly face keratitis, conjunctivitis, and cataracts. Keratitis ranges from surface scratches (tearing, light sensitivity) to deep or penetrating wounds threatening sight, treated by removing debris and antibiotic drops in dim light. Conjunctivitis from injury, vitamin lack, or infection needs boric-acid rinses and chloramphenicol; cataracts need surgery, so prevent with good hygiene and peace.
Came Home and Suddenly Saw His Eye Like This–Can You Help?
From the photo, one eye has heavy discharge and will not open; for an outdoor cat, first suspect a fight or foreign-object injury causing untreated conjunctivitis or keratitis. Check the eye's inner structure; if only infected, use neomycin sulfate drops and oral anti-inflammatory, 3-5 times daily, 2-3 drops, for 5-7 days. Clean discharge with saline first; use an Elizabethan collar if it scratches.
Ate a whole nutrient paste tube and its packaging, already induced vomiting; brought home to observe; after 7 hours only urinated, ate normally, drools a lot, but spirit is not good
After a cat swallows a whole nutrient paste package, go to the vet to induce vomiting and check whether the object is fully out. If remnants remain, endoscopy may be needed to remove them.
