I have never flown with a dog. The only things I can think of that you might try, if not already, are a Thunder suit, and ginger...but that is mostly for motion sickness. It could be that his ears are more sensitive and he's disturbed by the cabin pressure, but I am not sure what to do about that. I flew with a toddler who was horribly pained by cabin pressure, but so were most of the other passengers...including myself, and the Flight Attendants were passing out gum...which didn't help me, and my son was too young to try their fix. This was many years ago.
He could also be troubled by frequencies generated by the engines, etc. Dogs can hear sounds we cannot, and he may be bothered by them.
I'd hate to think he was hurting without you being able to tell. Have you discussed this with your vet, by the way? Maybe s/he can offer a better option/solution.
Good luck...I hope you can figure it out and resolve it. He's a cutie pie... |
