I agree. I had Kaji chipped at the same time he was neutered. I did it that way because I felt I might as well have everything done at the same time, not because I knew anything special. I'm so glad I did it this way!!!!!
When I picked Kaji up, he was groggy and sleepy, so I know he didn't wiggle for them when they had the chip implanted. The scab was HUGE! He still had freshly dried blood on his back. I felt so bad. The only comfort I have is knowing my baby was still under when they implanted the chip.
