I wanted to update this in case someone else finds it while searching for acepromazine. I talked to my vet about Max's reaction and she said it sounds like he was "fighting" the sedative which would only stress him more on the flight. She offered to try a different medication so we are test...
It's possible she's sore. My cat is always sleepy for 24 hours after his vaccines. Our vet said that's normal. I would call your vet if your kitty is still limping when she wakes up.
Thank you. Sometimes it's good to hear that. I'be been worrying about how to keep him as calm as I can during this trip and I think it's time to make plans how to keep me calm too! Max will meow loudly probably until security and then realize he would much rather be in his carrier and settle down.
