Why You Should Never Grab a Cat by the Tail
Grabbing a cat by the tail is painful and risky: the tail is made of small bones linked to nerves and muscles, and pulling it can injure bones, nerves, and balance, even upsetting the stomach. A frightened cat also loses trust in you. Always let the cat come to you and support its chest and hindquarters instead of the tail.
How can I avoid Corgi dystocia?
To avoid Corgi dystocia: avoid overfeeding during pregnancy to prevent obesity (Corgis are prone due to body shape). Keep moderate exercise to build stamina (avoid intense exercise early to prevent miscarriage). Around one month in, get a prenatal check to monitor fetal development and mom's health for malposition or narrow birth canal. If dystocia seems likely, go to a hospital before the due date for assisted delivery or C-section.

Is this hamster cheek-pouch eversion?! It became like this in a few days; what do I do?
The blurry photo is unclear, but eversion shows the pouch hanging from the mouth corner, from severe pouch inflammation or over-cleaning. If no necrosis, clean under anesthesia and reposition, then treat as pouch inflammation; severe infection may need surgery.
