Thanks for the tip. Maybe if I have to travel by air again, I'll check into this with my vet. It is so much better then stressing them and ourselves out!

Do any of you give your Yorkies sedatives for flights? I tried it, decided I was against it because I didn't like the glassy look in his eyes, but my vet persuaded me that it is better for the dog to be on a mild sedative than to be upset, yelping and scratching at his container for hours at a time. He assured me that the sedative he gave me was mild. This last flight I went on was the best. The sedative leaves him alert, just relaxed. I was glad I did it.
