I'm so sorry to hear about Noah's traumatic vet visit. My Cirrus is still semi feral so it's very hard for me to even get him into a carrier. I can't even pill him. When he went to the vets, they had to pill him with a tranquilizer and he had to stay there all day because it takes about 2 hours to take effect. I need to ask my vet about a cream form so I can rub it into his ear to calm him down so he can have his nails trimmed and advantage applied monthly. Hopefully this won't happen again and you will be able to find something to help Noah relax at the vets.
