Finishing last
Great news!!!! Gimli and I had a look around the lake and campground today. I guess we didn't have to. It was a good reason to get out and walk. Happy to hear she's home for Christmas. Get her chipped whatever it takes. Peace of mind is worth it. Maybe a play date at one of the park or driftwood beach one day.
Chipping small breeds is not a problem
Chipping small breeds is no problem at all. It may be the vet's PREFERENCE to anethestize the animal (probably for easier handling) but it certainly is NOT required.
From AVID site (microchip company):
Q: Does the procedure hurt the animal?
A: Although the microchip needle is larger than a typical vaccine needle, the general rule is this…your animals will react the SAME way to this shot as they do to any other. No better, no worse. Animals do not over react to it. Their physical performance is not impaired and there is no scarring. You are not injecting any substance that can burn or irritate; the chip is completely biocompatible and non-offensive.
Q: Does the animal have to be sedated for the injection?
A: No! Injecting the AVID® microchip is just like any other injection or vaccination. Anesthesia is not required or recommended.
Q: I have toy breeds/kittens. They are so tiny. Can I use the chip?
A: Absolutely. We have thousands of toy breed customers. You can chip your puppies/kittens as early as six weeks. Remember, the same sized microchip and needle are used in animals even smaller than yours, including mice, baby birds, and even fish!

Here there and everywhere
The vet that had her QM had her chipped..the vet said they now have smaller chips for small dogs and she did not have to be put under anestesia...anyway she was chipped..and the chip WOULD NOT have helped in this situation..thanks for your concern..

Thanks for the info !! I have a 3 lbs chihuahua that I am having chipped when she is spayed next month...that was why I waited....it sure is good if they are found and turned in to a facility that was the majic wand to read them....but sadly will not help if the dog is lost or someone has them and does not turn them in to an organization.....I am think about tatoos....that way any body that sees the dog can see the tatoo and know who it belongs to......hmmm...maybe both!!
