Happy story results in question for Dr. Doug

[DOTLDaddy]

I found this happy story just now:

Dog reunited with family

About 12 paragraphs down into the story, it mentions that the dog's microchip had migrated to his leg??!! :h:p

Dr. Doug, have you ever heard or run across such a large migration of a microchip?

My little guy's chip was last found in the chest area. That was a few years ago and was put in a little under 8 years ago.

It's amazing what you can find out about an organization simply by inquiring of City, County, State, and/or Federal Licensing Boards. And, don't forget to check the local phone directory to find out if there's a listing complete with address and phone number.

Well, I suppose that's all good advice, but kind of an unexpected response to my topic. :h

I agree 100%, not sure what to make of that response!

Migration used to be a problem, but I've never heard of one going that far. Most times they used to get down to about the shoulder blade, just far enough that if you didn't cover a wide area with the reader you'd miss it.

The newer chips are smaller and are designed with tiny spokes that reduce the chance of migration.
