I'd rather drive out than put her thru a miserable two or three hours on a plane and at the airport. My own ears pop and make me crazy on every flight. Jeez. I agree about being very careful with drugs. I doubt I'd have the courage to give her a single drop of anything. I'm terrifed I'd hurt her or make her kooky for the rest of her life... |
I used a soft carrier. In fact, it's the black/white one located here:
Welcome To Pet Fly's - Trendy, Edgy, Airline approved pet carriers for traveling in style, comfort and safety on board a plane, train, automobile or just hanging out with you. I am trying to think of what airline I flew on. It actually may have been Delta. They allow any size that will fit comfortably under the seat in front of you. A soft carrier helps with this, as it can be squished down a bit if needed. I kept Pixel in the carrier the whole time. I was afraid if I snuck him out for even a minute, he wouldn't want to go back in lol I have heard that it depends on the flight staff. The rule says they have to stay in, but I have many friends who have been able to take them out during the flight because the attendant said it was okay. If she is pee pad trained you can take her to the bathroom (in the carrier) and put her on the floor with a pee pad and let her go. I did this in the bathroom of the airport just before getting on. Worked out great! I think having Pixel chew on the bone helped with his ears too - just like if we swallow or chew gum it helps. He didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. Don't worry, I stressed about it a lot too but it all turned out great!!
When we got off the plane the flight attendant saw his head sticking out of the bag and said awww I didn't even know that little one was on my flight
