They are not sedated for a reason. Something about the shorter nose and no oxygen. Sorry. I knew a few years ago what it was. You'd have to ask.
Do the same as the parents of crying babies do: Nothing. You cant do anything. I had the carrier on my lap and stuck my hand in there and scratched ears for awhile. Had little tiny treats. Little glass of water. Even took him in the bathroom and scratched him and hugged him. He eventually calmed down. Good luck.
