I am taking my dogs out of town this weekend. Both of them get diarrhea when they go for longer car rides. Last time I went home to my parents, it took a week to get my little guy readjusted again. They don't get motion sickness and throw up in the car, but I think they get nervous and it leads to the runs.
I've talked to my vet and she said to try to give them pectin before I leave. I've also heard Benadryl helps with motion sickness. I am going to stop at one of the pet stores and see if they have anything herbal for anxiety. I think if they enjoyed their car ride, it wouldn't be as bad. As much as I've tried with my big dog though, nothing seems to change.
I'd definitely be interested in trying dramamine, if I could get the appropriate dose. I wonder if the vet would give it to me w/o having to come in for an appointment.
This weekend is going to be a busy weekend out for my dogs, who typically aren't around a lot of chaos and people. I am totally nervous about taking them and upsetting their tummy's, but I am hoping they will start to enjoy adventures out as I don't like leaving home w/o them! |
