I have never had a dog before and recently purchased humane grade dog treats that developed white spots and turned all white when left out, which a friend identified as mold. I stopped giving them to my dog, Lacy, who is 8 years old. Since then, she has shown symptoms including bloat, not wanting to go on walks, diarrhea, and general lethargy for about 6 months. Her appetite has decreased significantly. I have spent a lot of money on tests but they couldn't identify the issue. Can moldy dog treats cause these symptoms, and is there a blood test to check for mold-related issues?

We adopted a pitbull terrier named Murphy who has had runny stools since coming home, likely due to inconsistent shelter food. Recently, his stool became bloody. He drinks a lot of water, is an aggressive chewer, eats Purina Pro Plan dog food and banana & beef liver treats, and has been neutered. He also has a lot of dander/dandruff. What could be causing his bloody stool and how should we manage it?

My dog, Sugar, is about 7 years old. She was unable to walk but is now walking, though her eyes are swelling and filling with mucus, causing her to rub them with her paws. She was also throwing up but has stopped and is now eating normally. Her bowel movements are normal. What could be causing this and what should I do?
