So sad to hear your little boy has pancreatitis, it is a hard problem to manage.
Perhaps in the car he may sometimes feel sick from the P?
My dogs do/did not like the noise of traffic on freeways and are better if it is a quiet road. You have a point about the dark, I suppose the dog cannot see out and is more stressed.
I have 2 suggestions:
One is the Thunder Shirt that reduces stress, and gets its name from fear of thunder. It seems to calm dogs and may work - it looks cute too!
The second is the Snoozer car seat that sits high, is very comfortable (sheepskin-type liner) and I got a size that my 9 pounder can lay down fully in if he wants to sleep. My dog loves it and I tried it first at home for him to get used to it before putting it in the car.
I hope he gets used to travel and that you find a solution as car sickness is nasty for all involved.
Wishing you luck with the P and car travel. Sorry your little babe has these issues.
