But, it's not just one time. It's every 3-4 months.

I mentioned this before but will do so again. Ask this vet if she ever
does microchip implants. A melatonin implant is no different; the same
size needle is used. I have had a number of ferrets microchipped, in
addition to melatonin implants, and have never had a vet need to use
anesthesia to do either.
