My Harlee HATES the crate or any bag that she would have to go into ....I have flown to Jersey and back to Az with her a few times..Never again !!!!!!!!!
One time my son brought her over here (we usually sneak her out and put her under the blanket) this time not....She scratched a hole in the mesh on the bag and it was awful...
One time we had to take her on the plane , I gave her 'Rescue Remedy" to relax her homeopathically, well, the plane didn't even take off yet and she was having a fit , panting, her tongue almost black from stress...The airline hostess announced if there was a vet on the plane, asked if we wanted to get off. (how could I, it was my son's bootcamp graduation)...A doctor and his wife who happened to be a therapist whose jack russell had similar anxiety on a plane had to give her Jack Daniels, yep, 2 drops (or whatever touched my finger) of Jack Daniels on her tongue...That's desperation!!! You had to be there, I needed to finish the bottle myself... (I didn't)....It was a grain whiskey , they said it would be ok....Well, it was, finally after about fighting off being nervous, she settled down and on my lap...They announced on the plane that she was alright and everyone clapped....What a trip !!! I will never do that to her again !!!
I don't recommed giving any animal liquor at all, except in my scary situation ...she's also 6yrs old and thinks she's the boss and would probably want me in that bag !! LOL And I would have gone in instead of her if I could have... |
