Hey guys


I finally made Princess's spay appointment and they asked if I wanted her microchipped as well, I said I'd have to think about it and get back to them.

The issue is this, my husband is somewhat of a conspiracy theorist, not so much as that is all the talks about, but he seems to think in general that the government is out to get us in some way. I do agree with a few points he's made, but not many.

Here is my question... I think it'd be great to have her microchipped just in case she ever gets out somehow, but DH thinks it's another way to track us and it's a route to microchipping humans and blah blah blah.. He thinks her collar is enough.

So, I wonder if I can just get her chipped without him knowing? Can you tell by looking at the injection site?

I hate lying to him like this, but she's my baby and I don't want to lose her. Any advice would be appreciated

You cant tell by looking if they have been micro chipped or not. All my fosters are microchipped. He wouldnt be able to tell.

All of my kids have chips and really, you'd never know.

Right now I can feel the chip on the new baby - but only because he's severely underweight and I know what to feel for. On the rest of them I couldn't find the thing to save my life.

Unless he has xray vision, I don't see how he'd know about it


HTH!

Both Mika and Bijou are microchipped and there's no "tell-tale" signs. I think you are safe from having hubby find out. Just hope they never get lost and get scanned.
