I'm sorry Leilani got car sick. I had a Pomeranian that used to get car sick every time. I had to give her dramamine and it worked. She was about 8 or 9 lbs though. Definitely go with what the vet says...if the vet says she is too small for dramamine right now, just wait.

I think it was mentioned above, but the best thing to do is try to keep it a calm setting when having to go for a ride. No big production. Anxiety is usually the biggest cause of car sickness. Also, get her a car seat that has the view high enough to see out the window. That helps. And, make sure not to give food within an hour of having to ride.

I'm happy she got some meds and seems to be a very good weight
