And judging by the looks of him right now, he felt the same way!!

We go to the Bay Area EVERY Saturday, and I always bring Gucci with us, since we will be gone for a large chunk of the day. He NEVER has any problems in the car.. BUT today he did

If you have any suggestions for me after reading , feel free to offer them for the future.

See I fed him about 30 minutes before we left and I think I should have fed him earlier and he should have eaten slower the little fatty

.. He got Car Sickness, vomited twice and peed in his carrier on the way there the drive was about 1.5 hours. Luckily, I had brought extra stuff and remade the bed for him. He had his brand new Sherpa sweater dirty, vomit on his chin that I wiped off and pee pee on his little feet from where he turned around and stepped on it.

I cleaned everything and put him back in his carrier where he just looked upset!!

I don't blame him at all.. He looked bummed the rest of the trip and normally he enjoys it. I was so sad for him, he had a look that said "I Should Have Just Stayed at Home." My Precious had to stay kinda icky all day and was just not feeling well. As if that wasn't enough he was on an empty tank since he vomited his food and the vet said not to give him anymore till we got home. They had said for me to walk over to walgreens and get him some dramamine (sp?) and give it to him so he'd be ok on the way home.

Needless to say we are here now and he has had a bath and slipped into some clean PJ's .. he looks so content.. he crawled into his clean carrier with fresh Sherpa and Blankies all by himself and laid down with some toys.

What do you guys do to prevent Car Sickness???

thanks for reading too
