| Hello I am new to the site. I think it is going to be very interesting. I have 4 Yorkies: Sassy Raz, age 15-1/2, Roxie, age 3, and Lily and Macy, each 1. They all have a little different personalities, as well as some annoying ways. Lily and Macy are sisters, and they can be a little different as well. Lily sometimes gets car sick and throws up. Any ideas on what to do? They never get enough attention or loving. My first Yorkie, Daisy, lived to be 17 years old. She had congestive heart failure. It was so hard when she passed away 3 years ago. |

| Welcome to YT. You have a great lil fur family there. The only thing I can think of to keep her from being car sick is not to feed her within two hours of getting in the car. Usually, they get over it if you go often. I hope you enjoy YT. Be sure to check out all of the sections. There is plenty of reading and good friends to make.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Welcome! How do you transport your dogs in the car? My little one got carsick when we took her in the enclosed carrier, but since we got her a raised carseat where she can look out the window she's been just fine. |

| Welcome to Yt, Sophie use to get sick in the car and the vet gave her some pills, she took half a pill a half hour before a ride and they worked. When she got older she didnt need them anymore. I am lucky with Scooter and so far Saddie to. |

| Lily doesn't throw up every single time in the car. Have tried putting her in a carrier too, but I think she gets more frightened in that. I think it will help to not take her for awhile after eating. These Yorkies are sure precious! |

| I have put her in a carrier or just sitting on the seat. I think she gets more frightened in a carrier. I think will help to not feed her for awhile before taking her too. My daughter said the same thing about not being able to see out the window. She can see out though by standing up by the window. Will just have to take her more often. |

| Toby gets car sick no matter where he's sitting. So we put him on Dramamine (1/2 pill about two hours before we leave.) Works like a charm. And this is the human Dramamine. I was only giving him 1/4 and our vet said to increase it to 1/2 pill and ever since I did he no longer gets carsick.

| Hey, thanks for the info. May need to try it sometime, especially if I would go on a little longer drive. May take a drive of 3 -4 hours later this month. How much does your little one weigh? I have taken dramamine when I ride in my daughter's RV. |
