Paraphimosis in Dogs and Cats
Paraphimosis is the inability to retract the penis back into the prepuce, which can lead to swelling, impaired circulation, and, in severe cases, penile necrosis. Prompt veterinary care is needed to reduce the penis and treat the underlying cause.

My hamster was fine until yesterday, when I noticed its left foot is swollen into a clump and it keeps gnawing at it until the bone shows—what’s wrong?
A hamster's blackening foot is mainly due to self-mutilation, infection, or poor blood circulation. Because hamsters chew at the affected limb, they can injure it themselves or in response to irritation, triggering infection and tissue death. In any case, a black foot usually means the tissue is necrotic from lost blood supply. Take the hamster to a vet promptly to limit infection spread; amputation may be necessary.
