As with people, animals may suffer from motion sickness when riding in cars and trucks or trucks.  While this phenomenon is fairly common, it is not remove why some animals are a lot more predisposed to this than others.

Symptoms of motion sickness may include restlessness, panting, drooling and even vomiting.  Some animals may get so upset that they will learn to vomit on anticipation of even entering a automobile at rest.   other animals will develop motion sickness at various points on a long trip.  treatment of motion sickness normally includes medications such as Benadryl or Dramamine.  A newer veterinary drug known as Cerenia may also be successfully used for motion sickness in pets. A homeopathic treatment known as Cocculus may also be valuable in some circumstances.

Sometimes crating animals or using special restraints while riding in cars may help reduce the severity of motion sickness.  Gradually boosting the length of automobile trips from a few minutes on up may also help to get animals accustomed to longer trips in moving vehicles.
