If it came out the same day it was put in, kinda makes you think it wasn't put in right. At work we put the chip in and immediately scan the pet to make sure the chip didn't get stuck in the needle. Then we scan again when the owners come pick up the pet (we tend to do alot of the chips during spay/neuter).

I wouldn't have my pet chipped without having been tranquilized first. That needle is HUGE! Our vets won't chip without tranquilizing first (even if done during the office visit). We don't put them all the way under though like during surgeries, just a tranquilizer.
