We give with a little food a lots of water or for some reason it doesn't seem to get into her system. The effect is variable, but mostly effective. I keep a piddle pad with us and if she gets antsy I'll take her to the bathroom and put a pad on the floor. She complies quickly. You should talk to your vet and try any medication prior to flying so you know how your pup reacts and find what works best. The Rescue Remedy can be a nice combo. |
Thanks for the suggestion. This is definitely going to be trial and error but everyone has given me some excellent tips which I will be trying. Any suggestions on how to handle her if she freaks out on the plane? I plan on taking doggy diapers for her potty needs but I'm not sure what to do in case she starts panicking in mid flight. I am hoping and praying my baby can travel with me. If she can't what do I do? I want to travel but I will not give up my baby to do so. I think the only thing I can do if doesn't like the plane is go places for only a few weeks instead of a month or so and she stays home. I can either board her or have my stepmother watch her. 1st world problems
