I don't really know if this is a medical question per-say, but I figured this was the best place to ask it.
Does anyone else have a dog with a terrible car sickness problem. My poor Naja HATES car rides. When we go anywhere in the car, (which is anytime we go anywhere at all b/c I live out in the country and the car is the only way to access even the closest park) she gets terribly sick. She won't get in the car on her own b/c she equates it with being sick. We only ever go places that are fun in the car, to the park, or my dads house (he's got a nice big back yard that's fenced so she doesn't need to be on leash) to play with his dog PIMA. She's always good when she's out of the car, happy and playful. But as soon as she's in the back seat she lays down. She doesn't always get sick, in fact it's really only 7 times out of 10, but that's still the majority of the time. On long trips I have to give her half a childrens gravol, and even then sometimes she throws up. I just feel so bad for her, I want her to like car rides so much so I've been trying to slowly get her used to them, but it's not working. I'm not going to be able to drive with her to BC when the time comes to go home if she is like this, and I REALLY don't want to have to put her on a plane.
Does anyone have any advise on what I should do? Should I stop making her go on car rides, or is there some sort of trick you guys have used in the past?
Thanks for your input in advance!
