My 5-year-old Great Dane has a 7mm lump on her hip. The vet found red blood cells and fibrocytes (homogeneous in appearance) during a needle aspiration and suspects hemangiopericytoma. What other conditions could present with red blood cells and fibrocytes, and is there a way to confirm the diagnosis without surgical removal? Are there alternative treatments for hemangiopericytoma?

My 14-month-old Great Dane puppy received numerous vaccines and was treated for an ear infection. A few hours later, I noticed loose skin in his neck area, which worsened to a soft ball of liquid. Is this an effect of the vaccines or the ear infection? Should we call our vet as an emergency?

My Shih Tzu pup got groomed today and he and his brother (also a Shih Tzu) played too hard. Hunter's penis came all the way out and it looked like he had little balls too, but he is fixed. It was hard and would not go back in. I put him in cool water and it went back in, but the tip is still out. Is he going to be okay?

My dog has recurring sores on the outer part of her vulva. They look like ingrown hairs or puss-filled bites that are very tender and keep coming back despite antibiotic treatments. I have taken her to a vet and even an animal dermatologist, but the sores persist. What could be causing these sores and what should I do to finally resolve this issue?
