In April 2004, a lump developed at the site of a dogs's microchip.  The biopsy report says, Diagnosis: Fibrosarcoma.  The pathology report confirms that it is a High-Grade Fibrosarcoma.  This report also says, the tumor is histologically identical to postvaccinal sarcomas in cats.
Although the microchip was attached to the fibrosarcoma, the pathology report says there is not enough evidence to prove that the microchip is responsible for the fibrosarcoma. Bear in mind, however, that in order to have enough proof, tissue samples must be submitted, extensive testing must be done and papers must be published.

Garden Hazards Reach a High in July and August, Your Reason to Go Organic - Using all-natural pest controls is an important step to take if you love your pets. In 2001, the American Society for the Prevention to Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)'s Animal Poison Control Center reported that July and August are the most dangerous months for companion animals. Why? Because during this period in 2001, the Center handled the highest volume of cases for that year - approximately 7,000 calls. ASPCA data showed that over 3,000 (48%) of these cases involved companion animals being exposed to pesticides. The chemicals included common flea and tick control insecticides, rodenticides (mouse and rat baits) and weed killers.
