Hamster’s leg is swollen; not wrapped by a foreign object, don’t know why
A swollen hamster leg needs checking to tell edema from solid growth, and pressing to check the bone, since a fracture causes red, hot, painful swelling. A broken or cracked bone brings severe pain and needs external fixation; edema usually needs drainage and daily cleaning and medication, plus oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
Please help my kitten — suddenly can’t poop, hiding under the bed, weak, and crying like a chicken every few minutes (no vomiting, no diarrhea)
Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
What Happens If a Dog Has an Intestinal Blockage?

How is an ovary removal (spay) done on a female dog?
Spaying must be done by a vet under proper conditions: pre-check health (no heat, pregnancy, low sugar, heart issues), choose anesthesia by weight and age, then incise the hairless belly, locate ovaries and uterus, clamp and tie vessels, remove ovaries, disinfect, and suture. Post-op painkillers and antibiotics.
What happens if a Bichon Frise is tail-docked?
Docking makes the Bichon's proportions look more balanced, meeting some show standards or owners' aesthetics. But for the dog itself the benefits are unclear and it can cause harm — it can't express emotion through its tail, limiting communication; the process is painful and risks severe infection if poorly cared for; it may also affect balance. If you can accept the natural look, avoid docking.
What happens if a dog is beaten and suffers internal injuries?
