car sickness! yuk! Well one of the minis, Cassie, threw up on the way home from getting the two of them - and she was in a crate. She gradually outgrew it, especially after a long trip to Cape Cod.
Ginger, STandard - got car sick when she was a pup - she outgrew it if she was in the car with the minis. Her trainer said to crate her and drive around town., then take the top of the crate and drive a few more trips and eventually she would be ok. She seemed to outgrow it too.
Now we come to Teddy - the worst of them all - he really gets carsick - no warning - doesn't matter if he eats or not - he projectile voimits. AFter the last time he totally got it all over my car - I actually had to hose it in side and it still smells in summer when windows are close! ugh - anyway we got this waterproof thing that goes on the seat. It doesnt stay up on the back of my seat beacuse I have a sedan and no head rests. But ideally, if you have a car with headrest in front seats and back you can make this kind of hammock. But actually, since I got this, I have taken him in the car several times and he hasn't thrown up, so maybe he will outgrow it too. But I wouldnt' take him on a long trip. By the way I even tried dramamine with Ginger and with Teddy and it didn't help. He really got the motion sickness. Cassie and Ginger did the mouth likcing thing but poor Teddy - he would be enjoyng the ride and then oops! Good luck - try the crate thing.:banghead:
