Animal Quarantine Process - Questions

[mella l]

Re Tranquilizers. I took my kitties to Portland to live and it was a 550 mile trip apx 10 hours depending on traffic. Well I tranquilized them and lived to regret it. The tranquilizer just paralysed their mussel groups not their minds. They were terrified and it was just awful, will never do it again. Also have heard but don't know for a fact that some animals it causes them to develop overheating and is dangerous.

Perhaps Lucy has some ideas about this also as breeders deal with pet transportation issues all the time. I don't know of one breeder who ships and uses tranquilizers!

Just some thoughts. Mella
