Like all things just because something can be done/is done...doesn't mean it should be done. So I'd go with whatever your vet says. Right, wrong, or somewhere in the middle what else do you have to go on? I support microchipping as it at least ups your odds of getting back your dog should it get lost, which may (or may not) be worth (to you) any potential risks. I think it's like everything...you weigh the odds, make your decision, and get on with life. What will be will be. It's like I'm of the generation that always got their kids vaccinated, but withheld the Pertussis due to the concerns of negative outcomes thought to be associated with it at the time. A person plays the odds, none of my kids got pertussis, it all worked out. I'm guessing my dogs due to being closely supervised won't get lost...but "what if" ----? Regarding not microchipping small ones. They felt my Yorkie was too skinny...not that she was so small (4 #) - they said it works better when they have at least a little (normal amt) fat to inject into, and less painful for them. I intend to have her microchipped at some point. All the others are microchipped. |
Our little 2# chi was chipped during a regular office visit. He didn't even flinch when the needle went in (I thought I would pass out though... cuz the needle was so big). I didn't realize that most people have it done while they are being spayed/neutered. Stanley was a rescue, and came to us neutered but not chipped, so I just asked the vet to do it at our first visit. It never occured to me that it might be more than the "quick stick" that it turned out to be. |
hello, I just wanted to say that our Kenzie already had 2 chips when we got her, she´s 12 weeks old and she's 100% healthy (Thank you God). It's a safe procedure and better to do it than to regret it later. Take Care! |
