I have one now that used to barf. I discovered that if someone else drove and I held him in his carry bag, he was fine. So we did this and rewarded with a treat each short ride and increased to longer car rides. Then I took him in the car and just up and down the driveway alone in a carseat with the window opened a smidge,he only drooled, rewarded with a treat and tons of praise. He finally has adjusted to the car ride but doesn't love it but no barf or drooling. I think he also sensed my stress because I dreaded the fact that I wouldn't be able to take him with me. I also put blankets in the carseat tucked around him to make him feel secure. I had a car barfer and pooper years ago. I finally just let him stay on my lap although it wasn't safe and only to the vet. He did love walking outside although only 2.5 lbs. We live in a mountain area. He would stop when tired and I'd carry him for awhile and he'd let me know when he wanted to walk again. He had great muscle tone.
