The only thing I know is Acepromazine, but I don't know if it would
interfere with getting accurate readings, etc. Also, personally, I cannot
see that it made any difference in the two cats I have used it on. My cat
Spaz will run and hide at the mere sound of the carrier, but it is only
because she has spent so much time at the vet's being poked on (blood
drawings, mostly). Also, my four other former ferals are afraid of the
carrier, but that's more understandable.
Is your cat nervous when you try to get her to take her to the vet, or does
she get nervous once there in the presence of the techs/vet?

I haven't followed this closely but I have a question: Is it possible to
give the cat some sort of mild sedative before taking it to the vet's to
avoid the stress reaction? I try to give mine Rescue Remedy just because
she absolutely hates vets. I don't know what happened to her before she
came to live with me but she is the only critter (dog or cat) that starts
trembling at the thought of going to the vet. Her current vets have given
her no reason to be so frightened. Like I said, just a thought.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Cats can develop heart murmurs JUST from the stress of being at the vet's
office (one
they don't actually have normally). Try to find a vet that can come to
your home and
examine her without the stress of a car ride and the vet's office.
You might get some good support from the Handicats2 yahoogroup... they

of disabilities there.
