Then the next week I did the same thing, but with the car running. The next week, I began driving back and forth in the driveway. This week, we've taken trips around the block. He seems to be doing pretty well with it. No vomit so far. My vet suggested this method, but said if it didn't work, he'd prescribe something for motion sickness.  |
Wow that sounds like a great idea. His vet said the same thing, that it might just be emotional, and that he just associates the car with vomitting. But I think I figured out what was making him throw up. He hadn't pooped and was all blocked up. Once he went poopy it seems he hasn't thrown up. We were on the road fo 1.5 hours today and no throw up and we were on the road for 30 min. total and no throw up. So I hope the poopy was the cure, and I guess he's adjusting now so I think we might be over this phase, but then again I could be wrong.
