I picked this up today and feel its bottom looks strange. Is it sick?
The photo shows an swollen anus, likely perianal inflammation from frequent licking, chronic constipation, or diarrhea. Try pet anti-inflammatory oral meds and ointment, keep it clean, and deworm if worms appear in stool.
My Golden Retriever’s belly is patchy white and black.
The blurry photo makes cause unclear. Watch for dandruff, hair loss, or itching—if present, likely skin disease; clean with saline, and if it won't wipe off, suspect parasite/fungal infection and see a vet.
Two days ago my hamster was badly bitten by its mother—it bled, I disinfected, now scabbed but with bruising underneath.
The bruising is significant; if lethargic or off food, see a vet. Hamsters are solitary—separate the pup from the mother after weaning, as fights can be severe or fatal.

What happens if a puppy keeps vomiting?
Long vomiting can damage the esophagus, stomach, or gut and cause inflammation; it loses water and appetite, leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance that hits the heart and organs. Severe cases cause metabolic acidosis, even coma or death. If over 24 hours or with diarrhea/fever/lethargy, see a vet.
What happens if a dog’s hind leg is ‘wrenched’?
A wrenched hind leg usually means fracture, sprain, strain, or nerve injury; the dog may cry, lick it, and cannot walk or bears no weight, dragging it. Untreated, muscle atrophy or deformed healing causes lifelong lameness; open fractures risk sepsis.
I feel it’s male, the pet shop says female; what is it?
The photo is blurry, but males have genitals about 2 cm from the anus and a round opening, while females are about 1 cm away with a triangular opening. Use these clues to judge.
A bald spot with a hole in the middle
The photo is blurry, but this may be from scratching or skin infection. Put on an Elizabethan collar and disinfect the area; if it spreads, see a vet.

A red lump on a turtle's neck may be a local abscess from bacterial infection after improper fibroma removal, or malignant change into a fibrosarcoma. Sterile surgery at a vet is advised.
Sudden lump on her paw, not painful, allows touching
