Hi Kerry,
I'm sorry I didn't respond to your email earlier. I did just read
Hideyo's response, and I agree with her. The kitty will be traveling in
the cabin with your friend right? Mild sedation sometimes has the
opposite effect on kitties than what we'd hope for, (I learned that the
hard way). Some of them panic when they feel drunk and out of control
making things even harder to deal with. I'd try the rescue remedy and
maybe an antihistamine, but nothing stronger. Make sure and tell her to
have a leash and harness on the kitty in case she has to take her out of
the carrier in the airport. Has she already made the flight?

Hi all
I don't know if this will go thru because I'm having a lot of
problems. But I have to try, as someone I know is driving in the next
couple of days from Chicago to NY City and asked my advice about
sedating her kitten for the trip. I believe the kitten is 5 months
old, and certainly under a year. I've never used any sort of sedation
and said i wd ask you wonderful guys. I believe Benadryl was mentioned
recently on the list? Any advice much appreciated!
Kerry
