  Oh that’s already occuring …do they not check addresses? because that will be fun.

  (So far one to my po box under maiden name, one to our house under married, one to his lordship’s work… and we have friends who are literally settling on a new house…)

    Does it need to be refrigerated? I could try to order some and post it on if you have a PO box

      Nah its just a blood glucose monitor stickon. I would be very grateful, their discount “trial” is $15. Our local chemist has $125 (pets dont get NDIS).

      You don’t want to know what the AEC charged.

        Oh I just thought of something else. This is assuming that it’s a stick-on device and nothing implanted internally - but if it’s undamaged, it’s just come off and is no longer sticking - maybe in an emergency you might be able to reattach it with some non-latex false eyelash adhesive. $200 is a lot of money per pop.

        If you apply it very thinly and let it slightly dry to tackiness it might even peel off somewhat cleanly afterwards (never tried it on shaved fur).

        Even a bandaid? Adhesive skin tape would probably be far too aggressive as cats skin is thin and fragile.

        Places like Vet Shed online have non-adhesive bandages of material that sticks to itself only, to hold it in place. (Maybe diagonal going under one front leg to over the other shoulder if a figure 8 would put pressure on her neck.)

        So it’s a one off? Yeah I’ll see how I go, if they let me have multiple to the same address (and whether they get pinched 😬)

    Oh well done! I don’t think they do check addresses, I work in community health and we’ve all signed up over the years for our human clients.
