I copied the info below from a universal (standard size chip delivery system) microchip site, just answering some FAQ....
"I have toy breeds/kittens. They are so tiny. Can I use the chip?
Absolutely. We have thousands of customers who have toy breeds. It might help you to know that the same sized microchip and needle are used in animals even smaller than yours...including mice, baby birds, and newly hatched sea turtles! Does the procedure hurt the animal?
Although the microchip needle is larger than a typical vaccine needle, animals do not over react to it. Anesthesia is not required or recommended. What is the best age to inject the chip?
Most breeders inject the chip between the ages of five and eight weeks. Of course, the injection can also be done at any time after that. "
Hopefully, you are feeling better about this.....Teddy will pick up on YOUR anxiety and react accordingly! Before you go to the vet, throw back a couple of shots of Butterscotch Schnaaps....it will help you!! |
you make me laugh- thank you xox
Thanks all! It will be okay, I'm sure. Hubby told me I could wait outside and he'd take Teddy in so I'm not the 'bad guy' that took him in and you are all def right about how Teddy will feed off my energy.
I often underestimate my ability to cope with things until during and after the fact only to repeat the whole thing again before another potential drama! I always say Teddy is like me
At any rate, this whole thing will be over in about 36 hours from now. So, hopefully, I'll be able to come back and say that all went great.
Thanks again x
