| Is this "carrier" sickness??? We have taken him for car rides, not in a carrier for 20-30 min and he’s fine. Around Christmas time I took him shopping while in a purse sized carrier and he got sick.. DH said b/c the purse was small …no it wasn’t. We were gone for about 20min. I think from being in the carrier had something to do w/ it Saturday I took him to the vets office, I placed him in the carrier while in the car and he did fine for the 30 min ride. I toted him in the carrier while we were at the vets office for about 15 min. When we pulled out of the parking lot he got sick., I turned around and went back in (in case it was a reaction to the shots). Dr did give him another shot just in case it was a reaction. The more I think about it, I think it was b/c I was toting him around in the carrier while we were there..We are planning on taking him on vacation w/ us, 2 hr plane and 3 hr in a car, of course he’ll HAVE to be in the carrier while on the plane. I was going to buy some Bonine and try it this weekend on a car ride and toting him around in his carrier for an hour to see if it helps. I dread the fact that he might get sick ( I hate when they feel bad), I would think it would be easier on all of us this way, rather than him suffering for hours and not being able to control it …..Thoughts???
