Hi. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The white spot along her back is a microchip. I’m unsure what the Pacitti along her throat is, it’s possible it may just be a marker used by the veterinarian, or maybe metal if she was wearing a collar or anything at the time of the radiograph. I recommend contacting your veterinarian for questions.
