Jackie...I think you may have hit on something. I had Bella in the car Thursday night for about an hour. The towel she was sitting on was soaked. Last night (Friday) she had her grooming session with my hubby. She doesn't get upset outwardly when she is being groomed, but maybe it bothers her emotionally. This morning she threw up about 7 times (little piles all over) since I started this post. I am wondering if her sickness this morning is because of stress....too much stressful stuff in her life for the past 24-48 hours. We are watching her carefully and she seems to have stopped now. If it continues we'll give the vet a call.

KYS...Thank you for your note. I was thinking that taking her for many short rides might help to sort of "condition" her to the car. I'll try and remember to take her along for those little short trips to the bank, etc. Maybe the vet will suggest Dramamine too.

Almost forgot to mention...she also pooped by the back door during all of this. This is something she hasn't done in weeks and weeks. Now I am wondering because it seems to be a problem at both ends, although it wasn't diarrhea.
