Motion Sickness....

[Jellybears]

I posted a few months ago about Mr. Darcy throwing up in the car EVERY time we went out - any car. Some of you posted that is may pass around him being one year old.....WELL IT DID! I can't believe it, but he just stopped at 16 months old - thank goodness! We were travelling with 2 bath towels (his own) two hand towels, soaking wet in zip lock bags and numerous puppy pads laid all over practically everything in the car!! Don't know why this just stops - but there is hope for everyone of you out there with puppies with touchy tummies!......

I'm glad to read this! My Lily is 15 weeks and she gets so sick in the car that she falls asleep for hours after we get home. We stop taking her out in the car. She even threw up while my boyfriend was carrying her. We went on a walk and she got tired so on our way back my boyfriend pick her up and almost getting home she threw up. I feel so bad for her

That's great! Glad you won't need all of the towels and pads anymore. Bet you're glad, too!

Hurray! Congratulations Mr. Darcy! It is a great feeling when it stops!

Make sure she doesn't eat within two hrs of going in the car. Your vet can help with this, too. You don't want to quit taking her in the car, though, because I'm sure you'll want to take her with you many times in the future years. It will pass and usually does so after just a few weeks.

We try not feeding her, well we only try one hour and she still got sick. I want to take her everywhere I go, even work if they let me LOL- I'm def going to ask the vet and see. Thanks.

Kacee never had motion sickness, but my lil Muffin did. I continued to take her in the car and not feeding her long enough before and she soon was over it. We were able to take our first vacation together after a few months. Of course, I know they are all different. So, I would definitely not feed her so soon before a walk or car ride - go with 2 hrs before - and talk to your vet and see what they can do to help if it continues.
