Hi all,
I am a new cat mom and well my boyfriend and I are moving from NY to Cali and we have two cats that will be traveling with us. (They are his children and well he gets you know protective of them and is very frightened by this whole ordeal) We have a non stop 6 hour flight to Cali and our vet suggested benadryl for them. We tried a test run with the liquid gel caps and treats however they instantly found the "treat" and literally retreated. We aren't sure if they even ate it but we know they love their treats and shortly after eating or smelling one they were put off. We waiting a minute and then gave them normal treats which they were slightly apprehensive about but after inspecting them they ate them (the non medicated treats) We are leaving in two weeks and were going to try the pink tabs later this week since I have read that some people have had success with that. When my partner suggested actually trying to feed one of them the tablet I was shocked because he is so not a forward thinker in that sense one of our cats still has an ear infection because he refuses to do what the doctor asked him to---he doesn't comply because well he is not wanting the cat to be mad at him or uncomfortable. (Clearly to me an ear infections is my uncomfortable then dropping a few drops in the ear here and there when needed vs just leaving it be.) But anyway. I am drifting from my question. Has anyone else had success with relaxing the pet that isn't used to car travel well enough to fly...
Anyone ever use liquid melatonin?
