My pleasure!!!!!!!! Good luck and hope she gets better.
I went this route also,and I will tell you for Jasper it did not work.He only puked up nasty mush ginger cookies.We tried Bonine,anti stress meds (OTC) I tried Bach's remedy..none of it worked.I have a cabinet full of stuff,and I might as well say I wasted money.
What I feel is important,is that starting out all over again,step by step,baby steps.Desensitizing him to the vehicle,the whole experiance.so lots of high value treats,taking each increment of the experiance one thing at a time.
It many take you awhile,but eventually he will grow to be accustomed to it.Even if he does puke,take towels or whatever to continue.He will learn to swallow the overflow of drool,and get used to the ride.
I do also think that asking for a few Cerenia pills,will get him over the hump that first time after you give it to him,and him going in the vehicle.Once he does it the first few times,with your support & encouragement,the sickness will get less & less.Besides,even if they are not used for that purpose,it is one of those little magic pills that is good to have on hand.
Don't let car sickness come between him getting used to the outside world,and not getting socialized. It was a major drawback for Jasper,cause as soon as he puked,even if I did not get out of the driveway,his socialization was severely hampered.And that was my fault.
So we had to play catch up,and we still continue to play catch up with him.But he is 95% better now in public than what he was say 7 months ago.
But yes wanted to ask the question because surely she doesn't feel well when she's on these car rides and I feel bad because we're in the car or transit quite often : P Hmmm I Didn't know you could use human medications on dogs o-o.. Would you have any more information on how you give gravel to your pet??? I've never heard of this before haha
