Where did that identichip go?

Charlie Houston is a 5month old sweet young cat who had found her current owners by being found at the husband’s factory. They acted very responsibly with their new cat and brought her in for her first vaccinations and identichipping. She came in today for her 2nd set of vaccinations. I am not sure why I did it as I do not often do it as routine but I decided to check her identichip with our scanner once I had vaccinated her.

It had miraculously disappeared. I tried another scanner thinking that the first was faulty and ran it all over sweet patient Charlie - even down her legs but nothing! The only think I could think of was that it was a dud chip which can occur very rarely. Never having been faced with this problem before, I set about identichipping her again. When it came to the payment section, I told the owners that as I had never dealt with a case like this before, I was not sure if they had to pay again.

Once they had gone, I sent a message to our administrator upstairs. I hope she enjoyed my inital heading it read ‘Charlie Houston - we have a problem!’
