My rescued adult dog has likely had pups; severe tear stains, red-yellow mouth, eye inflammation
Heavy tear stains come from genes, disease, or entropion. Teddy and Bichon have shallow tear ducts and less lid space, easily tearing; only cleaning, care, or surgery helps. Disease like dacryoadenitis, ear infection, eye inflammation, or entropion can also cause it. For eye inflammation, feed lightly, rinse with saline, and use eye drops.

My dog suddenly keeps blinking and seems very uncomfortable
First rinse the eye with saline or clean water to flush out a foreign body or discharge; if it comes out, it is usually minor. If the membrane cannot be flushed out, corneal injury with inflammation is likely, so see a vet, use an Elizabethan collar, and try neomycin sulfate drops, though corneal injury is hard to cure with drops alone.
Cat losing hair around both eyes, black soft spots, spreading fast
From the photo, the cat likely has ringworm, which will keep spreading if untreated. Clip the fur around the spot, soften and wipe off scabs with saline, then apply antifungal medicine, and keep a collar on to stop scratching. Also give immunity-boosting oral medicine.
