My hamster is twitching/jumpy all night, has a lump under the forelimb skin, and unknown fluid at its mouth
Based on your description, the hamster is likely frightened or sick. Severe fright causes panic, loss of bowel control, refusal to eat or drink, and cowering; some show weakened heartbeat and breathing. The mouth fluid may be it cleaning its cheek pouches, or heatstroke in hot weather. If symptoms persist, see a vet to find the cause.
Why is my dog’s anus so dirty?
From the unclear photo, the area is dirty, possibly from diarrhea smearing fur, or from maggots or tapeworm. Maggots may follow an untreated wound; white worm-like things from the anus suggest roundworm or tapeworm, needing prompt deworming.
