A microchip won't fade.
I just can't believe that someone who cares for their furbaby would remove a microchip themselves. It is a procedure that should only be done by a vet as it is risky and requires an anaesthetic. How to Remove a Microchip from a Dog |
I cannot see that 816tuesday had the best interest of the dog in mind when she did surgery on her dog in her home. What next, a C section?
If she thought it caused pain going in, imagine how painful it must have been to be taken out.
