First Chin Vet Visit

I'm not sure if i should post this here... but i searched in the forum and there wasnt another topic like this yet, so here it goes!!



I'm bringing Snowball (my 8 year old female chin) to the vet tomorrow for a general check up as well as i think her eye is irritated from the dust bath.

I had given her two dust baths in two days and suspect that's what is making a white discharge come from one of her eyes ytd. Her eye looks better this morning and i couldn't see the discharge anymore, but i'm still bringing her in just in case. Plus, I'm leaving on a business trip and she's going to be taken care of by my sister so i want to make sure she's in tip top shape before I leave.



The main question is what should I bring with her to the vet to decrease her stress and make sure she doesnt freak out when i let her out on the table at the vets?



since this is kind of a rushed appointment, the best I can do is bring her in the plastic cat carriers they sell at the pet store and line it in fleece and hopes she doesnt chew on everything and anything. I was going to put hay in there as well so she can have something to chew on. I'm also going to bring some pear sticks with me so she can chew on it whilst we travel (a 15 min car ride)



Any other advice would be appreciated! thanks :)
