Dog Bleeds to Death after Microchip Procedure.. - Page 4

When I attended the Microchipping Course the vet who was there told us to be aware that some dogs can bleed excessively and that if chipping other people's dogs they should be advised of the risk.  Hemophilia is well documented in the GSD breed and other breeds including Doberman, Scottish Terriors etc.

Why did they not chip while the dog was under for surgery? Did they do a post to see why the dog bleed, warfarin poisoning? Just my two cents.

Charlie had undergone a neutering and tooth extraction without incident just weeks before

MIGSDL:   No one said you were going to Hell for microchipping your dog...you put that conotaation on something totally wrong.

When someone starts spewing Revelations and twisting it to his/her own beliefs to let us all know we are WRONG to believe as we do...then I assume they are telling me I'm going to hell.

US government has a plan in place , and has for several years, to chip all new babies born after a certain year, so all citizens can be traced and found...and not hide from USA dictatorship..

Conspiracy Theory bullshit.  I suppose you believe that the U.S. Army is in control of the UFO's too?  I refuse to live in fear of everything that comes along that some people disagree with.  I'd love to microchip my husband and throw a tracking device on him.

This was clearly operator error. With 10's of millions of animals chipped with no problem, it's clear
that the product is safe. Maybe this was the ONE time the vet allowed his assistant to do such an easy procedure?

Look how quickly and safely this is done routinely:

As far as the kook albrecht goes, she fears grocery reward cards are tracking her even though they
don't require an ID to get one!  LOL

YR- maybe you can provide the source of your info?

Using microchips on infants is nothing new, they are not implanted in the baby, but attached by means most often of a bracelet to the infants ankle. It is a security meassure against infant abduction. If the infant is anywhere close to a open exit door or elevator on the birthing floor a very loud obnoxious alarm will go off and the entire hospital goes on shut down.

At my hospital every employee is responsible to cover the nearest door or elevator once the alarm is activated. No person is allowed to leave the hospital until the baby is found. All elevators are shut down. We just went through this 2 weeks ago with a hispanic family.

Here is an article that refers to the chipping. In our hospital the mother does not wear a matching bracelett, so I am not sure if the author missunderstood or if such system is in place in other hospitals. The mother/father have however a bracelett with the babys information, so they can be matched up when they pick up the baby from the nursery for feeding etc. It would be very inconvinient if the mother were to wear a chip match bracelett, as the mother is not always around the baby. The babys bracelett is matched to a security system. Only nurses with special batches are allowed to transport the baby off the unit, like when Mom is in ICU. Hippa and JACHO are so on our toes that even the thought of an implant is rediculous. And Momas are informed and asked about the bracelett as they have to sign an agreement/information form. And who would deny that?

My girl will be micro chipped today or tomorrow pending the arrival of the chip. I have no choice but to do so, as the tattoo in her ear is unreadable as her skin is very dark.  Both my other dogs are chipped w/o problems.

I don't like microchips.  And I choose not to use them. 

I had a lady take a 12 week old Jack Russell pup from me and get it microchipped.  The vet put the chip in the animal's chest muscle.  The dog lost control of his spincters from the pain and is terrified of needles today.  That was cruelty.  If their bodies are too small there isn't enough meat to hold the device.  The needles to insert them are as big as a 10 penny nail.

In 30 years I've never had a dog go missing or get picked up by animal control.  My animals are vaccinated, health screened, and well fed with premium food.  I reject the idea that I am incapable of caring for my animals properly without legislation , or that anyone else knows how to better care for them than I do.  Certainly surgical proceedures for my animals should be decided between myself, who loves them, and my professional animal health care provider.

This is still the USA for a minute and we should have freedom of choice.  I don't mind if others choose micro chipping for their animals or themselves but I don't want them to make my choices for me.  Sweep your own porch and leave mine for me. 

The minutiae of the world shouldn't be mandated.  Iranians, Chinese or Russians might disagree.
