Is there anything I can give him and in what dosages? I have tried anti-anxiety methods from the pet store, with no luck.
I have the same exact problem. My boy throws up everytime we drive for longer than 10 mins. So far this is what I've tried:

1. Short and frequent trips around the block to get used to
2. Lookout car seat, regular mesh car seat, my lap (while hubby drives)
3. Not feeding a few hours prior to driving in the car
4. Dramamine
5. Benadryl
6. Natural motion sickness drops

He is 7 months old and almost 4lbs. NOTHING has worked for us. He starts salivating profusely and then pukes up bile

My vet says I need to wait and see if he grows out of it. I NEED to take a trip to TN soon (25 hr drive). My poodle and cat love trips and do excellent........I am going to pull my hair out because I want him to enjoy it too

Help?!?!
