The vet also said this was a common problem with puppies and that they outgrow it. Sophie didn't, but if yours is still a puppy, it may be something that gets better with time. |
There are new meds for car sickness without the side affect of sleepiness, please check with your vet. Another good alternative is a 1/4 -1/2 of a ginger snap cookie. Ginger helps with nauseousness. Give the cookie about 15-20 minutes before going in the car. Hope this helps.
