At first the dog had scabs on its body; after feeding dexamethasone it has had diarrhea and won’t eat for five days
Diarrhea after dexamethasone may be flora imbalance, more likely in gut-sensitive dogs. Dexamethasone is a steroid anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, anti-proliferative) but shouldn't be used long or stopped suddenly - taper the dose. Take it to a vet for a gut check; if mild, probiotics plus diet adjustment can recover.

Case: German Shepherd, male, 6 years, 23 kg, used for warehouse guarding in a poor environment. Staff found strong odor and right-hind-limb lameness with many insect bites. Exam: a 3 cm x 5 cm irregular wound on the inner right hind limb with purulent discharge, deep and foul-smelling, infested with maggots. Provide a treatment plan.
The wound is purulent and maggot-infested. First put on a collar to prevent biting from pain and stop licking. Shave around the wound, flush with saline, remove maggots with forceps, disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, and scrape away black necrotic tissue until fresh blood shows.
Why Is My Dog’s Urine Cloudy?

Medicated Baths for Dog Folliculitis: Which Product to Use
Mild folliculitis in dogs does not require a medicated bath, but when the affected area is large an antibacterial medicated bath is needed. The right product depends on the underlying cause — bacterial, fungal or parasitic — so a veterinary exam, often a skin scraping, should guide the choice.
Please help my kitten — suddenly can’t poop, hiding under the bed, weak, and crying like a chicken every few minutes (no vomiting, no diarrhea)
Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
