About the microchipping, both my little ones are microchipped between
the shoulder blades for the last 2 years, and neither have had any
complications.  The vaccines are given by the vet in their rumps.  I
have had no problems, but when you pick them up to nullify their
attitudes, you can feel the lump slightly.  However, the other options
if I should lose them are worse.
 
Respectively,  Barbara
