You may then need to be referred to an internal med specialist or a neurologist.
the "hub" is part of the syringe and needle. its that little space in between the actual needle and the measureable part of the syringe.

so by saying it was off he might have meant that the needle wasn't screwed on properly and he just had to tighten it. that happens with syringes that comes with needles, sometimes they are just not securely tightened so you always need to check that. |
I really wish I could recall the exact words he said but I can't. I just know that he said something was wrong, mentioned the hub and that he would have to be careful to do it a certain way to make sure it didn't get stuck? It was somewhere along those lines but at the time I had no idea what he was talking about. Since he went on with it I figured it wasn't anything too bad.
As far as I know, he didn't adjust it.
I don't really want to put blame on him, I'm new to the whole microchipping thing. It just confuses that here she was a perfectly healthy puppy one day, sees the vet the next and is sick within less than 24 hours of the process. She also had a physical that day before the chip was implanted and she passed with flying colors.
