Does anyone else have this problem and do you think she will outgrow it?? She will be 16 weeks old this week. I put her in a plastic carrier in the car but I almost have to do that because I don't want to hold her and drive!! PLUS .... I will be traveling back and forth to Az. sometime in August and she will be 6 months old by then so I am hoping that she can travel because I fly!! She quit screaming when I take her and started throwing up instead?? Poor little girl???
Thanks!! |
Ellie used to get sick in the car.
Before you try Dramamine, I would suggest giving about 3/4 of a Ginger Snap cookie about 20 minutes before leaving. This works for a few dogs and would be much better than medication. Make sure there are no artificial sweeteners in the cookies though. If that doesn't work you might have to go with medication. You can post this question in the Health and Diet section and somebody might have another suggestion.
