Hi all- Wondering if anyone had ideas.... We are relocating to VA from FL and will be doing a 15 hour car trip(possibly in 2 days with a hotel stop) with a recently transitioned to indoor semi feral who was previously a strictly outdoor cat. She has seemed to transition really well even though our house is in the process of packing up and a lot of unusual activity. She had come in and out of my house before the packing tho so maybe that is why she is somewhat comfortable with the place. I wanted to transition her indoors before the big move and it has gone well so far.
I acquired some gabapentin from my vet for the trip which he dosed 50mg tab up to 2 times a day. Any thoughts on this? Is this enough generally? Also, I have a feliway plug in house right now and bought a spray to use in her carrier before we leave as well and I have been putting rescue remedy in her water bowl. (I may try to give her orally as well on day of car ride) I am nervous about how to pill her as well bc don't know exactly how to do other than to "burrito wrap" her in a towel and force in mouth with a pill popper without getting bit hopefully! I have never owned a cat before so this is all new to me!
I'm so glad now I saved her and will not have to worry about her care when I leave! Thank You in advance for any and all suggestions!
