| Can you try those sprays or pills that are on the market??? We had a cat (llloooonnngggg time ago) and she was always nervous in the car....the vet recommended some spray (sorry can't remember) and it always worked well. You just spray in close to the animal every now and then to keep them calm? Some how, it worked.

| My Ollie used to get car sick, then I started crating her and it stopped. Sometimes the reason they get sick is from seeing the scenery flying by, if they're in a crate, they can't see out the window. The also have pills for that. |

| O.k...first...when and where is the YT meet up in MO? You can get Meklizine from your vet...that's the only thing that works for Jo. I think I've figured out Jo gets more nervous about getting near or in the car...he just trembles at the sight of it...and the upset stomach is a side affect of the nervousness. The Meklizine helps calm him and he's fine...I use it when we drive from Illinois to Florida and home again and he does great. There's also a new drug that my vet wanted me to try but we were leaving the next day and I didn't want to try it going so far from home. It's called Cerenia but you can only give it for 2 days in a row so if it's a short trip that might not be what you need. |

| I recently read where someone suggested that you sit in the parked car for a minute or two with your baby petting and calming him and then take him back in the house. Repeat a few times until he is calm and not afraid and then the next step is to back the car out of the driveway and pull back in. After he is used to that, ride around the block until he is OK with it. Try longer rides a little at a time. I don't know if this will help, but I just thought I would mention it.
