Try not to feed her or give her water before the flight so it is less likely she will have to pee or poop. When I get to the airport after checking in, I always give her Jamie one last walk. Line the bottom of the bag with pee pads just in case she can't keep it in. This has only happened once to my dog during dozens of flights. Most flight attendants are great about dogs and will bend the rules, but sometimes you encounter a rule person, even in first class, that will not let you keep the bag on your lap at all. I love the idea about the syringe, I just give her an ice cube to lick mid-flight and some treats. Most of the time, Jamie is fine on the plane especially after the plane takes off since the movement puts them to sleep. Don't worry, it will likely be very uneventful for you and the pup.
