No sedation is not necessary. I had my Biewer rechipped... her international chip wasn't reading at all. Maybe a little worse than a vaccine... but that's just the initial stick... no after effects. Infection is always a possibility, so just keep an eye on it for a month or so. The actual chips are even smaller now than when they first made them. I wouldn't combine it with another vaccine or a surgery though. But that's just me, lol. |
