I just need to reach out to the group on this. I am out of ideas on how to help my poor little furbaby.
Winston is now 13 months old and can no longer take a care ride without completely melting down. It all started when we took a car trip for Thanksgiving to CA, which was a 6 hour drive. Since that trip he has never been the same in the car. Up until that time he was always fine, never showed any signs of distress. About half way into the trip he started shaking, panting, breathing really hard and wining. I took him out of his car seat and held him the rest of the way but it didn't help. We stopped every hour or so and he would get out, walk around and use the restroom. As soon as he returned to car within minutes he started the symptoms again. Now, every single car ride we take he immediately starts with the same behavior. Even if the car ride is 2 min or 20 min...I don't know what to do, I feel like I am putting him through so much. But I take him everywhere and can't imagine he would be happier staying home alone. Please help, it just makes me so sad to see him this way
