And this is necessary to post to a thread with an already really worried pet parent because... ? Does it provide valuable information above and beyond what has already been provided?

Violet, we always appreciate your information. :nod:
No one is suggesting it be taken lightly. My response was merely to put things into perspective, because while information can inform and protect us and our pets, when someone is in the middle of a crisis with their pet, I don't happen to agree the notion that certain additional facts (which we can do nothing about and can't control the outcome decisions having been previously made) aren't something that should not be expected to "make a pet parent extremely, unreasonable fearful." In NORMAL times, yes, information shouldn't result in someone being unreasonably fearful. But in the middle of a crisis, when one is extremely worried about their pet to begin with, perspective is, I think understandably, sometimes out the window. :heart2: I'm not suggesting the information not be shared. But when someone is obviously in distress, I think how it is shared needs to be considered. :rub: For instance, after the fact, you say "in my mind, there is probably a much greater chance for a benign complication such as an abscess caused by a microchip to develop than something far more life-threatening." Yet that could have been shared up front, putting Rosiemac's mind at ease before she even opened the scary links. :dk:
Of course, we all have 20/20 hindsight.

. Abby is microchipped and I wasn't aware of potential issues before doing so. I think having the links in one informational thread would be extremely useful.
