I would think if this really occurred, it would be a one in a million or trillion chance. It's a needle, injected under the skin. I've never even seen one bleed at all. Better chance of the dog being hit by lightning or carried off by an eagle than death by microchip.

Where'd you find that? The PETA website?

Hardly ever seen a drop of blood when my vet chips mine

Wait until they start Chipping Sheeple, I mean humans..Mark of the Beast
I sourced the story-RENSE
Information on the Los Angeles Country chipping ordinance can be found at: http://www.laanimalservices.com/PDF/medical/lacounty_ordinance.pdf Live Radio Interview Today The Ginsbergs will be joining Dr. Katherine Albrecht on her live, syndicated radio program today to discuss microchip implants and Charlie's tragic death. The segment will air from 4:00-6:00 PM Eastern time on "The Dr. Katherine Albrecht Show." The show broadcasts daily on the Genesis Communications Network, and can be heard live at: http://gcnlive.com/Listen_Live.html (Click "Stream 2")
Dr. Reid Loken, the board certified veterinarian who performed the
chipping, confirmed on Friday that Charlie died from blood loss
associated with the microchip. He cited "an extreme amount of bleeding"
from the "little hole in the skin where the [microchip implant] needle
went in" as the cause of death. He said he was both saddened and puzzled
by Charlie's death.
"I just don't know what happened to him. We put the chip in the back in
the shoulder blades, the standard place where we put them, and there
really aren't any major blood vessels in that area," he said. "I don't
think it went in too deep; it was a pretty routine chipping."
Dr. Loken suspected the needle may have nicked the muscle around the
scapula, causing blood to ooze from the muscle. However, his efforts to
stem the bleeding with pressure bandages were unsuccessful. The bleeding
could not be attributed to a congenital clotting problem, he said, since
Charlie had undergone a neutering and tooth extraction without incident
just weeks before.
Charlie's owners were devastated by the loss. "Charlie loved to play and
cuddle. He brought so much joy and life to our home," said Lori. "We
loved him and took such good care of him. He meant everything to us."
The Ginsbergs were quick to absolve Dr. Loken of responsibility for
Charlie's death. "He's a great vet and this was not his fault. The real
blame is with the people who forced us to implant our dog against our
better judgment," they said.
The Ginsbergs plan to petition the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors to repeal the mandatory chipping law, and have sought the
help of prominent consumer privacy advocate Dr. Katherine Albrecht.
Albrecht is a Harvard-trained researcher who has authored a definitive
academic paper citing literature that links microchips with cancer in
dogs as well as laboratory animals. She has also authored an exhaustive,
47-page FAQ on microchip implants.
Albrecht cites other adverse reactions stemming from microchips in the
past. In one case, a struggling kitten died instantly when a microchip
was accidentally injected into its brain stem. In another, a cat was
paralyzed when an implant entered its spinal column. The implants have
been widely reported to migrate within animals' bodies, and can cause
abscesses and infection. In at least two documented cases, dogs have
developed cancerous tumors surrounding or adjacent to microchip
implants.
"Tragedies like what happened to Charlie Brown are probably more common
than we like to think," said Albrecht. "But it takes courageous people
like the Ginsbergs to come forward and talk about it."

Charlie Brown

I don't know if this particular story is true or not but I know my pup bled more than I expected when I had him chipped last week.
My vet told me that he likes to tranq the real small dogs/cats to be sure they don't move and he doesn't nick or tear something.

Every once in awhile an animal dies from a rabies vaccination.
Maybe we should change that law too, eh?

I agree Shelley. The microchip law is not a bad thing. It's time for folks to take care of what is theirs. Maybe it will cut down on the number of animals just left behind when someone doesn't want them anymore.
