Zaphod went to the vet on Thursday.
He threw up 4 times in the car. the vet says if he is car sick now, he will likely be car sick for his whole life. He gave us a sample of an expensive med ($30 a pill) to try.
Our Phod is also 60 lbs, which I think is small for a Shepherd.
He didn't love the vet but did well.
Happy Sunday!
Have you tried sitting him in the front..Just an idea, we did it with Mollie as she always was sick in the back xx00xx

We looked on-line if there was anything that could help, and these three websites seemed to offer some good suggestions. Ginger cookies seem to be an effective preventative... :D

Good luck! Let us know if anything seemed to help.

Ooooo car sick sucks. I only got car sick once but that was because I was already sick. But I do get to ride up front. Maybe that makes a difference. Hope a less expensive solution can be found.

I'm glad none of our dogs has ever had that problem. I hope you can find a remedy someday.

Oh shoots! Maybe just very short rides(like around the block) then increasing if Phod can handle it. Good luck.

Sorry to see Phod got sick in the car. The pill is seriously expensive. But I hope this pill, or something helps him from getting sick.
ReplyDeleteSomehow we think there is a solution to this . . . just wish we knew what it was!
