Cat treated with arsenicum album needs support for car ride

[PamR]

Cat under Dr. Jeff's care needs to go to the vet today for blood work. Looking for ideas on how to keep her calm on the drive with something that won't interfere with her current treatment. I have a few hours to start dosing her. I have Rescue Remedy--how best to use, or other ideas?

Reiki.
rescue remedy cannot be over-used. put 4 drops in an ounce of water and put a drop if that in the mouth if easy to do, or on the nose, paws, etc. Put a few drops on your hands and pet all over. Put some drops onto the towel in the carrier. Be creative - just use it a lot. If it works, then starts to slip - repeat.

Thank you, Dr. Christina. Is it okay if I use Rescue Remedy for people--it has alcohol in it.
I also just picked up HomeoPet from the pet store, for travel anxiety...?

In general, I do not recommend using combination homeopathic medicines (HomeoPet), especially if you are going to be working with a veterinary homeopath.

Yes, rescue remedy is fine for people, diluted or not.

I would always dilute it if giving to a cat since they would be very unhappy with the taste of alcohol.
