Where did you get her? That sounds like how I would expect someone to
describe a microchip. If you got her as a kit, then that isn't very
likely, but if you found her or got her from a shelter or she was given
to you it is possible. Ask your vet to run a chip scan on her next time
you are in and see if anything comes up.
