| I have the same problem with Sassy. Thank goodness the vet is within walking distance. I heard about the ginger snap fix too but havent tried it yet. I just asked my vet about this and he advised me to go to the drugstore and get some "Bonnie" (pills) and give her 1/4 of a tablet. Please let me know if you try these and if they work for you. thankx |

| They're called 'Bonine' tablets and are in the pharmacy area. I picked some up but haven't had a chance to try them yet

| If it is true car sickness there are things you can use but my Feather used to get so upset so would throw up. When I talked to my vet she said it sounded like anxiety and told me to try benedryl. It works like a charms. I give it to her about an hour before we go and she get slightly sleepy. We went on a 6 hour car trip this summer and we stopped after 4 hour to give her another dose and she was fine. |

Alos do not only just take him to the vet in the car or car is bad. Also try a sound tape from trough the dogs ears for car rides.... helps some dogs. Also change where he ridesw. I had one dog that can ride anywhere. Another got sick if she rode in the back of the SUV but not in the back seat over the wheels.... also maybe letting them see out the front can help. Ear that balance them can be set off by either seeing or not seeing and it may get better as he grows but by then stress of the rides and being sick will kick in. Bio calm or composure which is a natural drug can help. JL

| I would recommending trying something like ginger snaps before resorting to drugs that have the potenial to affect their heart, blood pressure and breathing. Ellie used to get sick all the time on car rides but loves going away with us. Ginger snaps seemed to work very well for her and now she must've outgrew it because no more vomiting... A lot of dogs will require drugs though.

| [QUOTE=Ellie May;2351980]I would recommending trying something like ginger snaps before resorting to drugs that have the potenial to affect their heart, blood pressure and breathing. QUOTE] The bio calm/ compsure are made of turkey juice ei the same stuff that makes humans sleepy after christmas dinner. Natural totally natural..... Gravol is also something most vets suggest. I not suggesting senistives or prozac but they can be used in very bad cases or benadrly which be using benadryl for something other then it is to be used for cases. I fly dogs on bio calm and have no worries that they going to not have a clue what is going on it just takes the edge off. JL
