Hello
I wonder how other people have dealt with this issue? we have two cats. Daisy is 12 and Minstrel is 8. Daisy is reasonably happy to sit in a carrier and travel in a car. She just goes quiet and sits there.
However, Minstrel goes into a blue funk the moment he sees the carrier and its a wrestle to get him in it. Once inside, he howls incessantly and no amount of cajoling or reassurance will calm him.
We are hoping to move soon, and our new home is a three hour car journey. How are we going to manage poor Minstrel's anxiety? I have not consulted a vet yet but wonder what the view is on sedation (we have tried Rescure remedy and Feliway products in the past without much success). Any input gratefully received! Many thanks.
