Thank you for the tips!! Hopefully I won’t have to do a bath and the washcloth will work but thank you for letting me know how to do one if it comes to it!

If you were up for it (and have an assistant to drive), you can even take them to and from the vet in the same carrier. Since they have to go through the stress of the drive anyway, you may as well use it to your advantage 😉

I’m guessing since they aren’t fighting in the pen. they won’t fight in the car. It could be give them the little nudge they need!
