Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

What suplement/ drug can I give my cat to lightly sedate my cat for travel. He is very unhappy in the car and usually poops all over himself and the carrier within 10 minutes

I think you should try Feliway spray for travel. Their website has great information and videos on how to use the product appropriately. This would be better to use than medication if it will work for him. ( https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-Spray )
