Thanks, mrsgreenjeans. I'll try leaving the new carrier out, though he always bolted at the sight of the old one. My husband will drive, so I can sit it in the back seat with Russell. I thought I'd keep my hand in the carrier and pet him and sweet talk him throughout the drive, unless he signals that's not working.
In other circumstances, I might be willing to give the Feliway a go, but some people have reported that it has the opposite effect on their cats, and I don't want to risk that at this point.
By the way, Russell has been a bit more himself since late last night. He brought me his pink mouse (he carries it, yowling, and deposits it near me - a nightly ritual); he's eating fine; we had a purr-filled Furminating session last night. Litter box habits all normal. His jumping is still not where it was and he seems extra-jumpy (startling at every sound). So just as he seems to be getting back to normal, we have to take him in again!
