| Motion Sickness? Hi YT, I am new to this site and I would like to introduce myself. I am the proud mommy of a 4 month old boy “sparky”. I always wanted a yorkie and I finally got it. I live in NY and flew to TX to visit a friend and so happen that I was looking at the TX papers and saw a breeder. I called her and was able to arrange to do all the paper and pick up sparky during my stay in TX and bringing him back to NY. It is hard to find a reputable breeder in NY. I’ve looked at stores and they are cute yorkies, but I am 100% sure they are from puppy mills. The puppies are so cute and they are innocent, but the store charges an arm and a leg. He was drooling on our drive home from the breeder house and I didn’t know why, being known to me as a first time mommy. Then on the way to the airport I had him in the carrier and he threw up and was drooling. I didn’t understand. I was afraid that he would bark in the airplane because I took him with me as a carry on. It was a 2 hour flight and he was good. Though he was exhausted, he made it back to NY with no problems. The next day he was we’ll rest and was to his normal self. After reading the yorkie talk I realize that he has motion sickness. Last week I drove to the Laundromat just like 4 min drive. He started drooling in the car when I started the ignition. Tissues were all soaked. Then after we arrived to the Laundromat he threw up. When I held on him and walk he still drools. People tell me that he will get over it. This weekend I am bringing him to a groomer in the city and I have to drive 30 min to the city. I don’t know how he is going to hold up in the car ride. I don’t want him to get groom and then he throws up. It would be pointless for grooming. Does anyone have any suggestion? When he is at the house he is fine and dandy. Any suggestion would help.

I Love Thor Donating Member | Try using ginger...ginger snap cookies work give him one 30 minutes before you get in the car. Ginger is a natural motion sickness remedy! |

| True, childrens bendryl may work, but i dont want to put him on benedryl if not necessary. I may try ginger cookies. If bendryl is goin to knock him out during the 30 min ride then its not going to help with the grooming. I'll c what happen this weekend with my new car seat i purchased. I hope this would make the ride a little better now that he is able to see everything... THanks CardsGrl.
