Car rides and puking? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

postiontrader · 08-24-2005, 10:33 AM

I took my 12 week old for a 5 minute car ride and she pukes, this is her 3rd car ride so far pukes evertime ,on Saturday took her to the vet a 5 minute car ride she pukes in her pet carrier,now today she doses the same thing it was 3.5 hours since she ate. I though everthing should be stable and settled by then.
I took her for a short walk at the park and she puked again going home and she was in the front seat this time, going to the vet she was in the back seat (thought this mite make a diffrent)
Yet she never pukes playing or wrestling hard with her brother.
Have any of you experienced this?

Yea My female Jewels pukes when we take car rides. I just keep trying to take her so she'll get used to it but she still pukes.

i think my puppy lexi was getting car sick too until i bought her a car seat
that she can see out the window. it hooks over the front seat and she
just loves it.... the other way she was on my lap as i drove and got
motion sickness...just like humans, some of us have to sit up front...

This is exactly what helped our male Shiloh.

The yorkie that we had before Mollie, Bailey he use to get car sick. We use to travel alot the between GA & VA everytime before we got ready to go I would go to the vet and get motion sickness pills for him. But, this was something that he outgrew. Maybe your's will as well.

TeeJay has never puked in the car before but he does pant alot and becomes extremely lethargic. i dont know if those are signs of motion sickness.

Almost all of my dogs were sick in the car when they were puppies. My shepherd was the worst and lasted the longest. Keep taking her for short rides in the car, I'll bet she'll outgrow it. Hunter (our shepherd) finally did, now he's great in the car. My Jack Russell was car sick as a puppy too. You haven't lived until you've cleaned Beggins Strips puke out of your purse! My husband still reminds me of that!

Both of my dogs got sick when they were young. Now that they're both a year old, they're so much better and never puke. They love going for car rides.

Mydogkelsey · 08-24-2005, 03:19 PM

haha..Yeah my Kelsey did that too. She doesn't anymore I barely ever take her on car rides, but maybe she just got used to it? I was worried she'd do that forever, but she's 9 months now and doesnt do it. I'd say at about 7 months or so she stopped. Good luck!

River,

I'd just have to throw that purse away!

I had a puppy who puked all the time in the car and we often travelled between Wasilla and Anchorage but he would puke everytime. Then we took a long trip to New york from Wasilla and he did not puke once in the car. He was brilliant after that. Now my lab gets car sick all the time even for short rides but we started putting him in the boot of the car with a dog gate to keep him from climbing into the back seat and since we have done that he got sick once and then was done and has not puked since though he still gets very drooly and watery.
