I noticed a semi-soft and slightly movable lump on my dog’s left armpit and another smaller one on her side last November. After a needle aspirate, they were confirmed as fat cells. Now, five months later, I found two more similar lumps, one near her left armpit and another on her belly. Are these lumps located in the axillary and inguinal lymph nodes, and can a needle aspirate distinguish between a lipoma and a sarcoma?

My 15-month-old basenji mix (female) dog tore up a sago palm, removing 2 branches and pulling off some of the 'leaves'. Should I induce vomiting and if so, how? She is otherwise healthy and weighs 40 pounds. This happened 30-40 minutes ago, and I discovered it 15 minutes after she got into the plant.

My dog, Zero, has a chronic ear infection that occurs every spring. There is some pain in his ear, but he's acting normal other than a slightly decreased appetite. I've been flushing his ear and using drops for inflammation, but nothing seems to be clearing it up quickly. What could be causing this and what should I do to treat it effectively?
