I put mine with the cap on in a little ziplock baggie and then in the pocket of my carrier. I don't take this out and run it through the xray machine separately and have never had a problem. I also take an empty syringe to force water if necessary. |
Thanks for the tip! I will ask my vet for 2 when I take Suki in for her checkup sometime this month or next. ^_^

Oh! It isn't just for humans then. Good to know! I never would have tried that. I really hope she doesn't get sick though

I feel bad for the poor babies that do!

If you have a choice for a middle seat, you will have the most space under the seat in front of you (not height, but width). |
I will be sure to keep this in mind. Do you know if airlines would accept a request for an aisle seat because of a pup?
LuvMySissy, thank you so much again for your advice! <3
