Why is my dog’s skin red and itchy?

Why is my cat biting its tail?
From your description and photo, tail-biting may be from a tick bite, possibly with bacterial infection. Put a head cone on the cat, deworm, and treat. Use a flea/tick product with fipronil and methoprene to kill the tick, then pull it out straight with tweezers and disinfect the bite.
My hamster was stepped on; the next day its eye crusted over, later red and swollen, its mouth is crooked, and there is a hard lump on the left cheek pouch (none on the right)—looks like cheek-pouch inflammation per online images.
Hamster cheek-pouch inflammation signs: bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, swollen pouch, hard lump when touched. Compare symptoms to judge. If so, rinse pouch with saline to remove sticky secretions/food, apply a little anti-inflammatory; add vitamin B to water to aid recovery. Feed soft food to reduce irritation. Per your description, the lip redness may be from trauma—check pouch for inflammation; if none, it's lip swelling—disinfect with iodine and apply anti-inflammatory.
