I've also been recommended benadryl, but I can't remember ever trying it.

In the meantime though I would recommend keeping him in a crate or carrier. We kept Bella in her carrier and put a peepad on the bottom of it, so that way we weren't constantly having to clean the car, or the carrier, and we always brought babywipes to wipe her up with after she got sick...it made the mess a lot easier to clean up, and trust me, I am not one for cleaning up puke! Usually I make a bigger mess myself just trying!

He's 9 months old and since the breeder had so many dogs I'm sure he's never been out much. That's a great idea about the pee pad in the carrier. I'm not one for cleaning it up either in fact the only time I do it is when dh isn't around and then I have to. But that's part of being a mommy.
