Carsickness
My 3 month old Lab pup, Ruby, gets so sick everytime we take her anywhere in the car. Today she went for her second set of vaccinations, our Vet of choice is about 30 mins away, and she vomited 3 times. The poor girl drools like crazy, whimpers and is generally miserable in the car. We have tried taking her in a large carrier, leaving her loose on my boyfriends lap in the passenger seat, and hooking her up with a seatbelt harness in the front and back seats. Nothing seems to help. I am fortunate to live in an area with several beautiful beaches and I would love to be able to take Ruby to the beach with us when the weather warms up a little, but with her debilatating car sickness, she would not enjoy the trip.
Is there anything we can do to help her ease the nausea? Will she outgrow this? I had a Lab years ago that also had major carsickness issues. I assume its not a breed specific issue?
Thanks for any advice you might offer!
