How to treat motion sickness in dogs
Pets, like people, can also get motion sickness, which has a certain relationship with their physical constitution and psychological effects. Some dogs will be resistant to the idea of riding in a car. If the owner wants to take the dog on a long trip, it is especially important to prevent motion sickness.
Symptoms:
Drooling, difficulty breathing, vomiting;
Severe cases may cause incontinence of urine and feces and weakness of limbs
Treatment:
1. Open windows to allow air circulation: When a dog shows symptoms of motion sickness, slowing down the driving speed and opening windows to allow air circulation can alleviate the dog's discomfort.
2. Take medicine to prevent motion sickness: For dogs with serious motion sickness problems, owners can ask the doctor to prescribe some mild sedatives or motion sickness drugs before going out for a long trip.
Prevention:
1. Adapt from shorter distances
Start from a nearby place first, let the dog experience the feeling of hitching a ride, and the pleasure of going out, and they will soon be able to adapt.
2. Establish a sense of security for dogs
If there is enough space in the car, just bring the dog's cage or den into the car together. The dog will feel safer and will not panic and cause dizziness.
3. Don’t eat before riding in the car
It is best not to eat before going out, otherwise the dog will be upset in the stomach and more likely to vomit if it is rocking in the car.
