I would do it anyway though for her safety. The vet told me she didnt need to be anesthetized but warned me that the needle is pretty big. And IT WAS. She did not move or cry at all. We were all suprised. He inserted the chip in her neck.

Vets ARE supposed to scan all the pets that come in to be sure that the pet belongs to the owner that brings the animal in. Keeping that in mind this protects both the owner and the pet.
Thanks so much for the quick reply.

I hated reading the part about the needle because I am dreading taking her in for one shot in April. I guess I am overly protective, but feel I need to do this.

Thanks so much.

Kate
