mother's day car ride - YorkieTalk.com Forums

tucker has just started getting carsick. i've had him for a few weeks, and he's been fine until now. i've started to gradually change his puppy food to purina one puppy formula (he didn't like the science diet). but he only seems to get sick when riding in the car. nothing any other time, and his poop has been fine. i've come to visit mom for mother's day and it's a 2hr ride back home tomorrow. is there anything i can give him to calm his stomach while riding in the car?

I read a previous post about giving them ginger. Someone recommended a gingersnap. Worth a try!

i have 2 yorkies that get so car sick not funny ,,,,, dont know where all the stuff comes from they throw up ..lol
i talked to my vet she said to give them a a half of table spoon of baby liquid benadryl a 1hour 1/2 before we leave it may help them relax .
i dont know if it works i just found this out my girls are normal size yorkies not the tiny ones ,,,,,,so if yours is little i would give less .
oh one more thing maybe try it today she did say it hypes up some dogs . that will be my luck ,,lol
