And every time I touch her she yelps :cryin: I feel so guilty that I can't comfort her.

She was also vaccinated for parvo etc... (her 10 week puppy needle) so we can take her walkies next week

I felt bad after i got malks chipped but he was fine after a day or so x

Thanks Nat... I can't even stroke her belly because she rolls over then yelps, the vet put the chip 1/2 way down her back

That's strange - usually its in the scruff of her neck where she can't really feel it. Bess didn't even notice hers.

Hope she feels better soon.

Thanks Bessie; I was suprised when I went to take her collar off and he said it wasn't necessary, she's having lots of sympathy today but she's still feeling very sorry for herself.

It's not unlike taking a baby (human) to have its vaccinations. You feel guilty, but know it has to be done.

A microchip is such a comfort knowing that if she did get lost without a collar there is someway of you getting her back.

Thanks Bessie... I know it needed to be done, our last dog was a rescue so all this was done before we took her on.

She's fast asleep now and stopped whining which is a good sign

can i ask why it was put on her back? just seems bit strange i no two of my local vets only scan the neck do other vets/rescues scan other places?

 

[missRV]

I don't know... I didn't ask either as he's the head vet at the surgery. She's not tiny and she has no health problems.

 

[kate_7590]

Might it be because she had an injection at the same time and they didnt want to jab the same area twice so did it lower?

Microchips can move, so they should scan all over the body. As Bess was so active as a pup the vet thought it might move on her so we had a discussion about it. Luckily it didn't in the end, but he told me they once found it had migrated to a dog's foot!
