Of course I am taking my baby with me wherever possible but I am a little worried about air travel. She hates the car and will only go about 20 minutes in the car before she starts whining and sometimes she even vomits. What do I do if we are in the air and Duchess starts freaking out? Do I get sedatives for her? What if they wear off while we are in the air? How do I deal with her if she becomes stressed out. I plan on taking a short trip with her to see how she does but I won't have any idea how she will behave on longer flights.
Secondly how do you guys handle food? Duchess is on Merrick's limited ingredients because of her colitis. Obviously I don't want to have to carry a month's worth of food but what if Merrick's doesn't ship to the country I am visiting? I plan on doing Airbnb for my accommodations. Do I send a month's worth of food ahead of time? I don't want to take a chance on changing her diet while in a foreign country as this could cause her colitis to flare up and I definietly do not want her to poop bloody diarhhea in someone else's house.
Leaving her here would not really be an option as I will not have anyone to take care of her for that long and of course there is no freakin way I am giving her away so I can travel so I will need to find solutions to this.....wherever I go, my baby goes. My stepmom will be taking care of my cat while I am gone because she absolutely loves cats but I don't want to burden her with two pets. |
You have to make sure you know the pet rules for each country because some might require quarantine or just not let her in. It also could potentially be dangerous to leave her alone in your room because she might get stolen.
