What happens if you hit a dog every day?
Daily beating badly harms a dog's physical and mental health: injuries (skin, fractures, internal bleeding, disability); loss of trust, avoidance, barking, aggression; anxiety or depression causing over-grooming and tail-biting; lowered social ability, fear or aggression toward others.
Fell from the cage this morning and now like this, sometimes can’t get up
A hamster that fell and can't get up may just be stunned and will recover, but if it can't stand or shows other symptoms, suspect serious internal injury. Take it to a vet to check for internal bleeding and fractures and treat accordingly.
Hit by a car, butt is swollen and red, blood in the urine
Blood in the urine after a dog is hit by a car is very likely an internal injury, such as rupture and bleeding of the bladder, spleen, or other internal organs. Severe internal bleeding can cause abdominal fluid buildup and peritonitis, and without prompt treatment can be fatal, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly for an ultrasound. If the exam shows only lower urinary tract bleeding, you can give the dog appropriate anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and bladder-mucosa repair medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, etamsylate, carbazochrome, or sucralfate. The specific medication depends on the exam results; the owner must not self-medicate.

What happens if a dog eats stones?
Stones can damage the digestive system, cause internal bleeding and blockage. Indigestible, they abrade the mucosa causing inflammation and pain; too many/large stones block the gut, causing vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite.
Cat’s reproductive organ suddenly bled

My dog vomited white foam and blood this morning.
Vomiting foam and blood may be internal bleeding, gut scraping, gastroenteritis, or parvo. Recall hard/sharp food that could scrape the gut; internal bleeding also causes it. See a vet for the cause.
