Dog Bleeds to Death after Microchip Procedure.. - Page 3

I don't want to microchip my dogs or myself for that matter. I'll stick with tattoos and tags. I HATE being FORCED by law to do anything. I'd be seriously pissed if this happened to me because I wasn't given the choice.

As chips go under the skin... and a Rabies vac often goes into the muscle.. I agree.. there's a HUGE percent larger chance of a hemorrage with that than with chipping... There is also a much larger chance of Charlie getting lost and destroyed in a shelter for lack of ID than bleeding from a chipping...  Making chips affordable, and having them done upon 1st Rabies vac makes a lot of sense when you look @ the # of dogs in shelters and being killed every year... better one sad but rare event, than the tens of thousands killed for lack of ID.

I have microchipped literally a couple of hundred dogs and cats and even a few horses. There have been times that a select animal bled excessively but was stopped without trouble. The easiest to chip were the really young ones, the skin was much looser and fewer nerve endings.  The local vet prefers to shave the area the chip is being inserted to avoid an air pocket developing. I have also had a couple of older dogs whos skin was so absolutely tough the needle would not go in. They were sent to the vet to be chipped, he had to actually use a scapel to make a slit to insert the chip. Very unusual that, 2 dogs from the same home.
I can understand how a small breed might bleed to death, the only ones I had that bled excessively were small breeds so I stopped chipping them and referred them to the vet for chipping.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9, 2007

Damning research findings could spell the end of VeriChip...
The Associated Press will issue a breaking story this weekend revealing that microchip implants have induced cancer in laboratory animals and dogs, says privacy expert and long-time VeriChip opponent Dr. Katherine Albrecht.

As the AP will report, a series of research articles spanning more than a decade found that mice and rats injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant, fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors originated in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to completely surround the devices, the researchers said.

Albrecht first became aware of the microchip-cancer link when she and her "Spychips" co-author, Liz McIntyre, were contacted by a pet owner whose dog had died from a chip-induced tumor. Albrecht then found medical studies showing a causal link between microchip implants and cancer in other animals. Before she brought the research to the AP's attention, the studies had somehow escaped public notice.

A 4-month AP investigation turned up additional documents, several of which had been published before VeriChip's parent company, Applied Digital Solutions, sought FDA approval to market the implant for humans. The VeriChip received FDA approval in 2004 under the watch of then Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson who later joined the
company's board.

Under FDA policy, it would have been VeriChip's responsibility to bring the adverse studies to the FDA's attention, but VeriChip CEO Scott Silverman claims the company was unaware of the research.Albrecht expressed skepticism that a company like VeriChip, whose primary business is microchip implants, would be unaware of relevant studies in the published literature.

"For Mr. Silverman not to know about this research would be negligent. If he did know about these studies, he certainly had an incentive to keep them quiet," said Albrecht. "Had the FDA known about the cancer link, they might never have approved his company's product."
Since gaining FDA approval, VeriChip has aggressively targeted diabetic and dementia patients, and recently announced that it had chipped 90 Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers in Florida. Employees in the Mexican Attorney General's Office, workers in a U.S. security firm, and club-goers in Europe have also been implanted.

Why sure ole Tommy helped push it thru, he had a monetary investment in the company. It has been proven knowledge many FDA committe members are board members of many food companies, and many pharmacutical companies.and would not dare deny the product to be produced and shipped and marketed no matter what the problems were with it...

Got  ROPE?

If this story is even true and not someone trying to further a personal agenda...

Maybe the dog got into some rat bait prior to the chipping, unbeknownst to the owners... most rat bait is an anticoagulant.

I've had a dog returned to me because of his microchip when an old roomate let him out on accident and I wasn't home.  I like them.  But if you have a dog you don't want , the chip is pretty much permanent... no dumping them by the side of the road...lol j/k

Mark of the Beast huh.

How about your damn drivers liscense, state ID, social security #'s ect.
you need all of these things to get work, housing, to get food.

people need to get a grip on this microchip mark of the beast 666 crap.

sounds like a plubicity stunt to me.

would rather read 100 classified ads on the  main  board than more of this dribble.

off in search of something worth reading
