Hello! It is quite possible that George is having an allergic reaction causing the bumps on the skin and swollen eye. Dogs sometimes react to insect bites (such as spider bites) or bee stings, and can develop symptoms like this. The diarrhea might not be related, but stil a concern! I would suggest taking George in to see his vet. They will likely be able to give some injections, or medications, to help him out with his symptoms!
