Be careful about the drugging of your dog too. I recently was on a 2 hour flight with my 3 month old puppy. There was another 4 month old puppy on the flight--who had been given half a dose of baby benadryl--this puppy was in shock or dehydration on the flight. Fortunately, the flight attentant allowed the girl to take the puppy out of the carrier (totally against the rules). There was no honey on the airplane. I attempted to give the puppy some sugared water and some nutri-cal I had in my carrier.
I showed the girl how to do compressions on his chest. This poor puppy clearly was in a bad state for most of the 2 hour flight and had to go to the vet as soon as they got off the airplane. NOT A GOOD IDEA TO DRUG A PUPPY FOR THEIR 1st FLIGHT. If I hadn't had the nutra-cal and doggie 1st aid, I don't think her puppy would have made it home--she had just picked up the puppy from the breeder's. |
