Re: OT: sedative before flying (ACE)

[Jennifer Ross]

I have never heard of ACE, but did have a friend who used Benadryl to transport a cat in the cabin of an airplane. She had to give it pretty early before the flight, but the cat was apparently OK during the whole flight (2-3 hours). Don't know the dose though, so I would check with your vet...[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Hey folks,I'm flying to Minneapolis on Saturday, a 2.5 hour flight from LIttle Rock, and taking a sweet, energetic young Siamese kitty to his owner.

 the dosage was 1/2 tablet followed by 1/4 if needed.Thanks much!Gloria

Heh, I'd be more inclined to take the sedative myself and let the little
one be!  ;)

In all seriousness, the little guy should be okay without it...I picked
up our Marvin (FeLV+ Siamese) in New Jersey and flew him back to Houston
with me in the cabin...other than the strange looks from passengers
wondering where that soft (or not so soft if you've ever had a Siamese
;)  ) meow was coming from, we didn't run into any issues...Even
taking him out of the carrier for the metal detector, he clung to me
like there was no tomorrow!  I also had one of those soft-sided carriers
with flaps to cover the sides in case the outside world got to be too
much...but Marvie did just great!

 Hey folks,
 
 I'm flying to Minneapolis on Saturday, a 2.5 hour flight from 
 LIttle 
 Rock, and taking a sweet, energetic young Siamese kitty to his 
 owner.  Kitty will ride in the cabin with me.   I've never taken a 
 kitty on board with me before, so a new experience.
 
 The vet gave me a sedative, ACE., and am pondering whether to use 
 the 
 sedative or not.  Someone said that another option would be 
 Benadryl, 
 along with Rescue Remedy.
 
 Any experiences with taking kitties on flights?  With ACE?  Think 
 the 
 dosage was 1/2 tablet followed by 1/4 if needed.
 
 Thanks much!
