Please help!! Can a microchip cause problems with the dog? Something is wrong with Cherrie. Her head is shaking and she is wobbly. She is still trying to play with the others though. She just had a microchip put in yesterday. She has always been healthy. I just noticed I can feel the chip. It has moved quite a bit over from where the vet implanted it. If the microchip is the problem what can you do about it? |
They do migrate but should not be causing those symptoms. Any vets open by you today? |
Wish I could help, but don't have experience with microchips. Hopefully someone will be along shortly. Hope the lil one gets to feeling better. |
No there isn't any open. I called the emergency vet and they said they couldn't say, I would have to talk to my regular vet. I called and left him and message and hopefully he will call me back soon. Can it be a reaction to the anesthetic he used before injecting it? It just doesn't make sense. |

Really shouldn't be that but can't say for sure. No history of any shaking or wobbly symptoms? Checked everywhere for pain? Gums pink and moist? Capillary refill time? Pulse and respiration normal? If it hasn't stopped, I think the ER is the right choice here. Wobbling concerns me. :( Couldn't have gotten into anything abnormal? |
ETA: is her head shaking as in shivering or is she shaking it like it itches? |
The vet just called me back. He says he don't think it is from the chip or local. We are thinking now that it may just be a hypoglycemic attack. I've been so busy this last day that I can't say for sure whether she has eaten. She has food down though. I gave her some nutri drops so we will see if that helps. How long before I should notice a difference if it was because of her blood sugar low? |

I just put some food in front of her and she is trying to eat but the shaking is making it difficult for her. |
If it's a hypoglycemic reaction, you should see improvement within a few minutes of giving nutrical. |

Nutrical should start to bring her out of it quickly. |
She is still shaking but not nearly as violently now. I gave her some nutri drops, some nutri cal and she ate a piece of chicken and wants more. I just hope it stops all together soon. |
Hope she continues to improve! |
Keep feeding her the chicken. If it was a hypoglycemic reaction she will need the protein to help stabilize the blood sugar and prevent a rebound crash. |
you said wobbly head? Is this what you mean by shaking or is it like a bobble head type thing? If bobble head then i am concerned for AAI so i want to make sure this is not what is occuring? and no microchip is not causing this as all of mine have microchips and have never heard this |
