kerbie18 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Okay, so I'm going on a flight in the near future with my little 11 pound "she-pooh"(shih tzus- mini poodle mix). Essentially an 11 pound ball of fur. After researching several airlines, she is considered a carry on accessory, if she remains in a carrier the whole time. I've heard of anti-anxiety pills for dogs to keep them, um, "calm". I should probably call my vet. Anybody who recently flew: Just seeing what my loyal TBS think tank has to say...

AK_Stick Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 get your dog some CBD oil treats and dose her up before the flight. Shouldn't be an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie-pete Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Gabapentin is one that is used. Ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 make sure you try it out at some point before the flight. you don't want the pooch puking, shitting, or totally tripping balls on the plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Czervik Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've had to use both of the aforementioned drugs (on my dogs). One effect was the dog "**** in his nest" as pops used to say. The other caused the dog to drool uncontrollably. That dog is dead, and his charts tossed, so I don't know which was which. Do a test run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Also, do a little research before you just give the pooch any meds. Many drugs can be prescribed and work the same way on multiple species, but many do not. Many of these drugs are processed in the liver, for example, and processing methods, chemistry, and enzymes process different compounds in different ways. Aspirin is a good example. We can handle several a day, and we process it quickly, but one standard tablet will last all day for a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentpoet Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ask your vet for a suppository and pop it in just before you get on the flight. And give the dog something too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
