Clinics often see odd cases - dogs vomiting or crying with socks, rags, toys or nails found on X-ray, some piercing the esophagus. These threaten life.
What to Do If Your Dog Swallows a Foreign Object
If a dog swallows something, stay calm and judge the risk. Sharp, long, magnetic, corrosive, or battery items, or any with pain, vomiting, or breathing trouble, need immediate vet care. Do NOT induce vomiting blindly—it can cause further injury. Small smooth items with no symptoms may pass at home.
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.

The white material is likely conjunctival tissue from conjunctivitis, given the tear stains and eye discharge. Keep the diet light, clean the eyes, and use pet anti-inflammatory drops.
My cat has a deep wound and bled in the morning; no vets in the village, please check for foreign objects and how to treat

Swallowed a foreign object, found late, surgery removed it; now ileocecal tissue is hard and overgrown with organ adhesion; two weeks no improvement; now cholecystitis, pancreatitis, anemia, eats little, walks unsteadily
The ileocecal area is complex; long retention of intestinal contents there causes tissue growth, ulcers, or organ adhesion. Follow the vet for secondary diseases; if possible, take a tissue biopsy. If growth or adhesion is confirmed, resection and separation surgery is possible but risky and needs pre-op assessment and complication care; the case is complex and costly.

If stuck in throat or esophagus, it causes rapid breathing, swallowing difficulty and pain; in the gut it causes discomfort and vomiting attempts. Sharp objects can puncture the esophagus or stomach, causing internal bleeding. Watch closely and see a vet if abnormal.
How long should I observe a dog after it eats a foreign object?
