| Microchipping :-S I just got Ranger micro-chipped yesterday. The vet told me that the needle was larger than the average needle and I had a choice of him putting the chip in, in front of me, or he would do it in the back. I don't mind needles, but I do mind my pup screaming bloody murder. So I had him do it in the back. So now I don't know where the chip is, but I kept feeling something under his skin, and when I looked it was a red scabbed bump. Is this the micro-chip, or something bad? I guess I really didn't know what to expect...

| Yeah, in the middle and I think it is just scabbed over, but I can feel it. Is that normal?

| Pebbles has 2 chips because the first one was defective. I can only feel one though. She is smaller than the others. I can not feel the chip on the other 2.

| Baxter's feels like a piece of rice just under the skin on his left shoulder. I can still feel it and he has had it for a year. |
