I called the vet again and the receptionist told me that 'yes' the chip will hurt Teddy a lot due to the size of the needle versus his size but he'd be over it quickly. I've read that there are special needles available for smaller dogs i.e. I could buy one and ask them to use it instead of the standard sized one they use but I'm not sure if it's necessary?
I wouldn't worry so much but Teddy is neurotic and the vet didn't want to chip him the same day as his annual check up due to the terror he displays at new situations and people. Ugh............................................
I just want to make sure he comes back my same ol' neurotic Teddy and not a new one with additional issues...
