Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] OT: chips in pets and humans unsafe says article
Folks,
Just my 0.02 on this subject. Millions of chips have been implanted in dogs, cats, ferrets, livestock, etc in the past 10 years +. I have seen 3 documented cases of cancer at the injection site of the chip in dogs in my various veterinary journals. Until I see evidence that is more condemning, I see no medical reason to stop placing chips. BTW, all my pets are chipped for identification purposes (crazy gate-opening dogs!)
Like I said, just my opinion,
