I poked a turtle’s nostril with a hair strand deep inside, will it be hurt, what signs, is it serious?

A rabbit's 'airplane ear' (one ear flopping up) can mean an impure lop bloodline, ear mites or inflammation, an ear strain from being lifted by the ears, or a calcium/trace-element deficiency. If there is no redness or pain, improve the diet; if there is, get a vet exam and treat mites or infection accordingly.

How Often Should a Hamster’s Cheek Pouch Be Cleaned?
Cheek pouches rarely need cleaning; the hamster cleans them itself unless inflamed. Pouch inflammation comes from hard or sharp food; the pouch has many vessels, so injury risks infection.
