There are no sequelae when implanting a chip on a dog. Some dogs may experience discomfort reactions, such as skin pain, bleeding, etc., which generally do not require special treatment because these symptoms are not particularly obvious and last for a short time, about 24 to 46 hours. After the local skin returns to normal, the adverse reactions will gradually subside. If the reaction continues to worsen, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular pet hospital for treatment in time and then treat it according to the examination results.

1. The function of implanting chips

Implant chips generally use syringes to inject the chip into the skin. They are an identity identification code that can understand the identity information of the dog, and also understand the specific location of the dog, and find the dog as soon as possible.

2. The benefits of implanting chips

The chip is a tracker, but dogs can only inject once. When the dog is lost, the owner can find the specific location of the dog through the chip, and can quickly find the lost dog. The chip causes less damage to the body. During the injection process, it may cause needle holes to be left on the local skin, causing pain and bleeding. It is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

3. How to maintain after implanting the chip

Dogs need to clean and hygienic local skin after implanting the chip. You can use iodine to wipe the local area, which can prevent bacterial growth. If there is inflammation locally, you need to take antibiotics and drugs under the guidance of a doctor, which can have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect and is conducive to the normalization of local skin. Moreover, after implanting the chip, it will cause slight local pain. If the pain continues to worsen, you need to take painkillers as prescribed by the doctor to improve it, which can relieve the pain and help the body return to normal.
