Over the last three years Ive lost 4 of my 5 pets. 2 dogs

Over the last three years I've lost 4 of my 5 pets. 2 dogs and 2 cats. I only have one cat left. She's never been an only pet. Its been 6 months now since her brother died, could she still be grieving? She still isn't herself. Is it that she's not used to being alone? She gets startled very easily and snaps at me for no reason. I really didn't want anymore animals but if it would make her happy id get her a friend. What do u think?
Hello, I have a ~2 month old Russian dwarf hamster who had

Hello, I have a ~2 month old Russian dwarf hamster who had a fight with a sibling about a month ago. He had bites and scratches all around his bottom and lower abdomen and eventually lost a toe due to the bites as well. Aside from that, he seemed to be healing well and almost back to normal until I brought him home from college a week ago. The second night back, he started squeaking and crying out. I couldn't see anything visibly wrong with him but kept a close eye on him anyway. Within a couple of days, a small hole above his private area could be seen, around the same area some of the scratches and bites had been. He's been sleeping more than usual and cleaning the wound constantly when he is awake, which seems to aggravate it and cause him to cry out. Could one of the bites have become infected so long after the fight? And if so, what can I do for him on my own, before taking him to a vet?
