Archie is one that gets very sick in the car. even a short 5 minute trip will make him sick. we recently took him for and hour trip and he didn't get sick at all until we got back home. (I held him the whole time to keep him soothed). His nerves are what makes him sick, I think. when he was much younger we took a trip to ohio (3 days). He was very sick the first few hours. I called the vet while on the road to see what I could do for him. she said to give him childrens benedryl. 1 mg per pound. to help sedate him. We didn't find a place to pull over to get some until he was doing fine. Just letting you know what she suggested. I now try to take him on short rides to try to get him used to the motion. So far I think it is more the stress.
good luck. Hope yours does much better with time.
