I have a litter of foster kittens that I've had since they were 1 week old.
They were born in a barn to a feral mom. One of the managers there thinks
feline birth control isn't getting mom spayed but to drown the kittens. Mom
unfortunately is trap wise so we had no success getting her (still haven't
trapped her). The manager became aware of these kittens the day after they
were born so they had to be taken from mom or die. One of the people who
keeps their horse at the barn dropper fed them for the first week and I got
them the following Saturday.

At any rate they have been traveling to Pet Smart every Saturday since they
were a week old. The dh is willing to bottle feed but just doesn't get them
to eat so I took them with me to feed during the day. They are going on 12
weeks old now and have started throwing up and pooping in the carrier just
about any time I have to transport them somewhere. Is there something I can
do to help them travel more comfortably?

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) are usually
prescribed for cats (not sure about kittens) who develop motion sickness-
but the sedative side effects- especially lethargy- might adversely affect
the kittens adoptability and appeal.
