Luna was just diagnosed with keratitis which is a chronic inflammation of the cornea possibly due to her feline herpes so she will have regular visits to the eye vet which is 30mins away. The first fright I sped her to the er vet which is the same place. She threw up and pooped on the ride there plus peed on herself while in the vet's care. This time a member on this site said to call her regular vet and get a calming pill (gabapentin) which I did. She still threw up (but that was my fault since I woke up late and fed her before leaving) and pooped on herself but it did keep her calm and let her sleep. Any suggestions with her? Since it's a 30min drive, vet visit, another 30min drive plus a shower when we get home. I really want to eliminate (no pun intended ) the stress of the shower. Her shower screams also scare the other cats and they already hate her. She has her own room but they still sneak in sometimes. I was thinking of a diaper but that might also be stressful and if she does poop, it'll still get on her and she'll still get a shower. I don't know if the gabapentin is even worth it? I won't be feeding her the day of her appointment anymore to see if it helps. Thank you for any suggestions! I'm desperate
