| Yes, my vet recommends using Benadryl when we travel but you need to call them to get the correct dosage for her. Also, buy the one that is clear so it's dye free and I believe it's also alchohol free. |

| I would call the vet for dosage but I too was told you can give benadryl to settle them down. Use the clear dye free. I know they dont get much but a vet should really tell you how much to give. Best Wishes for Safe Travel... |

| I would definitely call my vet and explain the symptoms just to be sure; but, I do know the dose for Benadryl is calculated at 1mg/1lb.

| Is she not used to going in the car? I know it can't help you now but I would make sure she goes in the car as often as possible and goes in her bag as often as possible so that when you NEED her to she does it without a thought. I hope the rest of your trip works out better.

| If you brought a pillow or blanket from home maybe letting her lay on it will help calm her. We always bring an afghan from our bed for them to sleep on at night when we travel. Without that blanket, they are a mess trying to calm down and get to sleep. Hope all goes well from here on out.
