Car Sickness!!!!

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can help. We have just booked another camping trip for May the only problem is that Belle gets car sick :yikes

Does anyone have any good tips or anything that has worked for them??
I am taking her out as often as I can in the car to get her used to it but it's about a 3 hour drive where were going to and I don't want my baby to be ill all the way :(

There are things you can give to eat that help to settle the stomach, I think ginger but you will have to check.
There was a thread about this not long ago maybe if you do a search.
It also helps to try and use a cushion or something to help with the vibrations. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the advice.

Last summer I got her some sickness tablets from pets @ home (these didn't work) we also had her bed in the car for her to lie on. Someone else has also mentioned ginger - I will have to read up on this!



:flwr:

We have the same problem with our Golden retriever and our vet told us to use children's motion sickness medicine. I just give her the amount suggested for a child the same weight and it works like a charm! I would check this with your vet if you are nervous, but I believe that gravol makes a baby version that you could probably give to a cavalier.

Definately check this with the vet.

I was also thinking it may help if she is in a position where she can't see any movement from outside and feels completely safe like a carrier ???
 
Theresa,

It was me that mentioned ginger on our walk :D - Perhaps a trip to the vet may be in order or something herbal might be better. Try Denes or Dorwest herbs - Harvest foods up heys lane should be able to get something in for you before you go ;)

Going anywhere nice?
 
Mint is good for settling tummies as well.

Also, a lot of dogs who have carsickness problems do much better when in a seatbelt/carseat or a crate.
