| Flying yorkie. So my yorkie will be flying with me this weekend and I need some advice. Abbey has flown with me before...so I know how she will react. The first time I flew with her was HORRIBLE. I thought she would be fine since she never cries in her carrier...WRONG. She cried LOUDLY the entire flight, scratched on her carrier, and in general, freaked out. Everyone on the plane stared at me with disgust and the flight attendant would not let me take her out. I vowed to never fly with her again but I have no other choice right now, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do or anything I could give her to calm her during the flight. I don't want to drug her up and knock her out but can I give her anything to just relax her that is safe?? She is 4 pounds. Any advice would help so we could have a more enjoyable trip. Thanks!

| Bach's Remedy works well in calming dogs. It is a flour extract and can be purchased through health food stores. |

| I fly with Gracie all the time and thankfully she's very quiet and has never needed anything; however, her vet told me that if she was nervous/upset by flying, to give her 1/8 tsp. of children's benadryl to relax her. She weighs 4.5 lbs. A 20 lb. child gets 3/4 tsp. so that's a very conservative dose, I think. |
