Microchipped ??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hello to all my friends on Yorkie Talk. I have a question. I had my baby spayed and microchiped 3 weeks. ago. The spaying went great. But ever since I had the microchip put in, she shakes her head and body really hard and quite frequently. Is this normal? She never shook prior to her surgery. I don't know what to do. Could their be something wrong with the chip? The put the chip between her shoulders on her back. I would appreciate anyone's feedback. I'm almost tempted to have it removed but then I'm scared to put her through surgery again. Thanks...Sheryl in Bartlett, PeanutAnn's mommie

I'm not sure that it's the chip.
Does she shiver or does she shake her head like she has itchy ears?

I've never heard of a microchip causing that kind of behavior. I'd be more suspicious that it might have been brought on by the anesthesia-- there are a few drugs commonly used in anesthesia protocols that can very rarely cause quirky behavior changes.

An ear infection would be even more likely though.
