Our attempt to get her to the vet this morning ( for routine checkup and fecal exam)was aborted after she bit and scratched my husband several times when he tried to put her in the carier. When we got back home ( the dog had an appt), she was curled up in the carrier! It was traumatic for both of them. I am afraid this will set back her adjustment to our home. I will bring her fecal specimen to the vet later this week to find out if she is free of internal parasites but if she needs worming, the problem getting her into the carrier will surely be there to be addressed again. Any suggestions?

Sure - you already have half the problem solved, she got into the carrier!  Leave it out in her area over the next few days, where she can get into it anytime.  Put a comfortable towel or blanket in it & put some cuddly toys in it, or some cat treats - whatever will make her think this is a fun place to be.  Then when you do need to take her to the vet, start early & try just to catch her relaxing in it and then shut the door.

I agree with cat dolls, also try putting cat nip in the carrier, that's how I get my cats in.
