| Car Sickness... Good afternoon everyone!! I was wondering if anyone had any advice about what to do when your little one gets car sick. My baby is 6 months old and he has been in the car about 3 times. We usually take him with us to see my mom who is about 45 minutes away. I hold him on my lap the whole time, petting him and reassuring him, as I know anxiety causes them to vomit. I even take his favorite plush toy and place it on my lap with him. He is ok for about 20 mins. to a half hour before he starts puking his poor little brains out. Is there anything I can give him to relieve his motion sickness? He gets so happy when he finally gets to grandma's house, its just the ride there that upsets him. |

| hmmmm, There has to be something for him out there. Poor baby, Did you ask your vet about it? I hope someone has a answer for you soon. We wouldn't want him to miss any trips to Grandmas house.

| Poor Baby! That is so sad... My sister's dog did that and the vet gave her something to help --- I don't know what it was. I would ask the vet to see what he/she thinks.

| hello and welcome...I am not sure what will work. I heard that it is just the first few times in the car and then after that they should be fine. I never had this problem. Dollar has always been good in the car.

| I think I will have to ask my vet on Nikko's next visit. In the meantime, I will try giving him something to chew on. Maybe a greenie will help. I also read somewhere on the net that chamomile soothes and helps for doggy anxiety. Thanx for all your advice, I will keep you all posted. |
