Microchip question
Can anyone tell me whether microchips are ever implanted anywhere
besides between the shoulderblades? I found a kitten who seems to be about 6 or 7 months old and there is a bump in her ear. I thought it was a scab or scar from getting boxed but it isn't. It feels almost like a piece of bone. The only thing I can think of is that it might be her microchip. I hope so since I haven't had any response to the ad in the paper. This kitten has been declawed front AND BACK! It makes me so mad. And nobody is looking in the paper for her! I just hope she wasn't abandoned after some idiot realized that declawing her completely doesn't make the kitty litter smell any better. |

When they were first used, many years ago, they were implanted in the ear (dogs, mostly - don't know about cats). But people would steal the dog and just cut the ear with the chip off. That's when they started putting them between the shoulder blades. I seriously doubt that the lump in her ear is a chip. But she may have one anyway. Take her to any vet to be scanned. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ ***Revelation 22:12*** ICQ: 349878998 http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |

There is a brand of microchip that 'migrates' instead of attaching itself to
tissue-I forget the name. Has the cat been scanned? www.mimiforsyth.com |

Microchips can "travel" though I don't know if it would travel to the
ear. I always get the vet to check Kim's is in place once a year. Aliosn "faielyne" wrote in message ...
