What happens if a dog eats a little scallion/onion?

My dog’s eye has been bruised, swollen, and purple. It keeps shaking its head and is vomiting.
Hello, based on your brief description I can't make an accurate diagnosis. From the photo you uploaded, the dog doesn't appear to have a serious problem, but without knowing its medical history or how long the symptoms have lasted, I can only judge that the head-shaking and vomiting are caused by a bump or possible poisoning. If the dog's head was struck and caused a concussion or head injury, it could lead to local swelling and vomiting. The owner should take the dog to a vet for a thorough examination and targeted treatment based on the results.
My dog is passing blood in its stool and won’t eat; it got chilled during the recent cold snap and has a cough.

My puppy suddenly foamed at the mouth and had seizures after a nap, and passed a dark brown stool while vomiting; then it kept barking, followed me around, and became listless, hiding in a corner to sleep.
Foaming at the mouth and seizures mainly suggest abnormal nerve activity or nerve damage. Once the seizure subsides, take your dog to a veterinary clinic promptly. If poisoning is the cause, get to the clinic quickly to identify the toxin and begin antidotal treatment, as the symptoms are severe and could be life-threatening without timely care.
