About 4 hours in the car on Friday, and again on Sunday to return home. I put the calming collar in the carrier along with a small litter box. Alex hardly moved a muscle for both rides. He didn't meow or whine, he wouldn't eat a snack. He just sat there-somtimes with his head up, but mostly with his head buried in his towel. Stan said he needed to get me a calming collar.
So, when we got to our destination, I assumed he would hide under the bed and maybe not eat well. Neither was true. He adapted quickly and well. He even let my mom pet him and only hissed at her quietly. :lol:
Here's my question: On both travel days, we arrived at PMPS time and both times PMPSs were very high--on Fri, 460 and today 514. Would it have been better to just let him stay home and miss a couple of shots or let the stress of the travel elevate his BG to these numbers? No signs of feeling bad. In fact, as soon as we got the 514, he ate and groomed and cordially greeted Audrey. If it weren't for seeing the high numbers on the meter, I'd never believe he was soooo high.

I know I would worry more about him being home with no insulin & me not there to observe. I wouldn't trust anyone else to judge how he was really doing.
