My dog, Soba, a 6-7 month old mix breed weighing about 20 lbs, has had a small amount of blood in his stool for about 4 days. He recently ate part of a dead animal, likely a rotten salmon, and has had loose stools with some blood. He was very sick a week ago and has been less energetic.

My dog, Harley, a 9 or 10-year-old spayed female, is not eating, was vomiting a day ago but has stopped, is drinking water, and seems more tired and sluggish than usual. She ate a small treat today, her first meal since Monday. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My Schnauzer, Lucy, has a bloodshot and slightly swollen left eye. She has not been licking or rubbing it, and she has been under a lot of stress due to an upcoming move. What could be causing this and what should I do?
