Traveling with a Paralyzed Dog
Hi there,
I have a dog that has been paralyzed for 11 years and has traveled everywhere with me. She is getting old now, but still goes everywhere we go. We have traveled throughout the US and Canada, and are planning on taking her to Mexico. I have flown southwest and jetblue with her and never have had a problem. As far as being recently paralyzed, you might want to consult your veterinarian to get any pills for any discomfort or anxiety that the dog might face for first time flying. I typically carry dog bowls with food and fill up her water in the airline, and give her a little bit of kibble to munch on before take off (in case her ears begin to pop from the change in cabin pressure). Hope this helps you, or anyone else traveling with a small paralyzed pup. :) Good luck!
