I am not sure what type of microchipping he is doing, but I certainly do not want anyone to think that microchipping "would be extremely painful..... due to the size of the injection which is needed as a result of the size of the chip". The chips I am knowledgable of are the size of a grain of rice. I do my own microchipping on 12-14 week old babies, and they do not even yelp! The needle used for delivery is extremely sharp and it just slides right under the skin.....no pain at all....puppy seldom even acknowledges insertion of the needle. I certainly do hope no one has been put off getting their pet microchip for fear you are subjecting them to "excrutiating pain".....absolutely not true for systems used here in the US. |
