Many cats (and their humans) get stressed when it’s time for a visit to the vet, and there’s a very simple solution out there that helps most of the time: Rescue Remedy. You can buy this in health stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and maybe even in pet shops. A few (4) drops on your cat’s lips half an hour or so before you’re ready to load your cat into it’s basket/carrier should do the trick. However, cats are very smart, and they know when it’s time to go to the vet, so you might want to catch yours a little earlier as the Rescue Remedy will last for several hours. You can have a few drops too if you get overly stressed when taking your cat to the vet (or yourself to the doctor). And you can give him or her a few drops later in the evening after the vet visit too if it was a particularly unpleasant visit, just to seal the deal.
Rescue Remedy is a homeopathic remedy that has been around for many many years. It is one of the many Bach remedies that have been tried and tested by humans (and their pets) for donkeys (pardon the pun) years. It keeps very well, so don’t be phased by using just 4 drops at a time and having to throw out the rest. That won’t happen. Give it a try, your cat (and vet) will thank you.
