Car Sick
I spoke to the vet who said this is safe, but does anyone have anyother ideas? Perhaps something natural? |

| I'm not sure if you've read any other posts on this topic but I am having a lot of problems in this department with Frank as well.
Dramamine is fine, just make sure you follow directions on how long to give to hime before his trip. Personally, I did not have success with it. The bad thing about motion sickness, is once it is experienced, the dog will develop anxieties about it which will equally make them sick. As far as herbal supplements there is "Rescue Remedy" and my vet just gave me a homeopathic medicine called "Anxiety" put out by HomeoPet. My breeder tells me to give Frank Ginger Snap cookies but I haven't tried that yet. There are also prescription meds but they didn't put a dent in Frank's problem either so you may want to try everything else first. Also, if Pooh is crate trained, I understand that if you crate them in the car this will actually settle them down a little. If he's not crate-trained it is not recommended to do this as it may cause more anxiety. Also, try not to feed your dog before the trip (less to puke). Good luck and if you find a "cure" please post about it!! |
