Hi all, im not sure where this should go but i really need help. Im in the process of moving to the UK(im currently in Canada) and i have to get my cats microchipped, only one of my cats microchips keeps falling out! I keep finding it tangled in her long fur, the vet hasnt seen anything like it before. Im onto the third try now and if it doesnt stay in i worry that i wont be allowed to bring her into the country. Has anyone else had problems with microchips falling out? Im running out of time now, i leave in just over 2 weeks and i cant leave without my girl. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks

I have no idea how this is happening.  The hole they insert the microchip into usually heals right up (it isn't that big to begin with).  Is there a way for the vet to stitch it in place?

Make sure you document this, too.  The chip makers need to know about this issue.

Good luck!

I just googled and some people say it may happen if the chip isn't inserted properly. I hadn't heard of them falling out either
