Microchip question

Hi,
My little girl had a microchip inserted today. Just wondering when she'd be able to have a bath?

Also, she likes to play quite boisterously. Is this ok for now - could her playing cause the chip to move?

Thanks!

I am not, and do not pretend to be, an expert - but I'd think bathing was probably OK now, be safe and wait 2 days. And I doubt very much that the microchip will move. My Thorgeir was chipped recently (he's a very bouncy 6-month old Border Collie puppy who finds stillness an alien concept) and he's fine!

Microchips can move over time, but it won't 'pop' out if pup plays rough...

Shouldn't have a problem and they aren't as prone to moving as some would have you think!

New chips are less prone to migration than the older designs.
