We have a carrier that I think Maddie would fit into nicely, but how do you know if the carrier will fit under the seat? Would the airline give me dimensions if I asked? I'll ask my vet about a sedative. It'd have to be a really small dose since she's so tiny. Do you think it would be a shot or a pill? If it's a shot, how would I find a vet to do it for the trip back? A pill would be a lot better I think.
I'll definitely have to talk to my vet about this before deciding. A sedative seems a bit scary to me. Does anyone have experience with this?
