He shouldnt freak out too much... it is a pretty big needle - the chip is about the size of a grain of rice... but it gets put in their scruff and scruff skin is pretty tough and meant for handling some roughness (hey, your neck skin would be tough too if your mom carried you around in her mouth by it!) When Oliver got chipped, the tech was more nervous about it than me or Oliver (my mom couldnt look though cuz she doesnt really do needles or anything, haha)... she'd only done a few chips before and always thought it hurt the cats so badly - Oliver didn't make a peep or squirm an inch! The tech was so happy and even said he made her more confident about administering chips (Which is good cuz cats can sense nervousness)... there was no bleeding or anything so the needle's not that big.... you should just stay calm when it's being done so your kitty doesnt stress because of your nervousness... it's definitely worth the money thoughOriginally Posted by Renovia
my vet charges 40 something for the chip and procedure. i don't mind, but i wish i had had the money when stoli got neutered. i don't want him to freak when he has it done.
