Are there any risks or side effects associated with the cat microchipping process? - Countryside Veterinary Clinic
I've never seen it. I've never seen a cat scratch it. I've never seen them be in pain from it. There has never been any indication that it causes cancer. I don't believe there are any negative associations with microchipping a cat at all.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with the cat microchipping process? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
Other than it being an injection, which could cause a bit of discomfort, there are no notable side effects. We can pick it up sometimes on an x-ray. However, we do not x-ray cats to find the microchip, we scan them. Only shelters, us, and the microchip company can get your information off a microchip.
