Re: microchip has moved??
i was thinking that aswell i know they tend to check all over but he gets super dooper stresed at the vets as he was run over at 7months and spent from july to feb in and out staying for weeks on end and then 3 times a week and being knocked out each time and he gets quite aggressive with the staff although he a sweetie to us and everyone here. He gets very very stressed at the sight of a cat carrier

Re: microchip has moved??
When my last dog died his chip was near the bottom of his front paw, took ages for the vet to find and we had been tracking it since he had it put in 13 years earlier, it moved a bit more each year.

Re: microchip has moved??
A lot of chips do move, I had my cat re-chipped as we never managed to find just where the old chip had gone
 As long as it can still be picked up it dosn't matter and rescue's are told to scan all over just in case.

Re: microchip has moved??
When an animal is chipped it is important for the owner NOT to keep feeling for it but to leave the area alone so that the tissue can knit around the chip and keep it in place. A chip can move on its own in some circumstances but the odds of it doing so are made greater by owners who keep checking for it.
