In November 2019, an Abyssinian cat traveling on American Airlines was found to have died of cardiac arrest. And in February 2020, a Yorkshire Terrier on board a Delta Airlines flight was unresponsive upon arriving at Los Angeles International Airport. The animal was immediately taken to a local emergency veterinary hospital, only to be pronounced dead just 25 minutes later. The incident report related to the pet’s death notes the passing was potentially related to low blood sugar. Some of the symptoms of hypoglycemia are very similar to a panic attack.
