  • Great pics! Otis looks so happy! I love to watch Bs run.

    I hope that you can find Moses some relief so he can join in the fun as well.

  • @nkjvcjs:

    These pics are so adorable.

    I remember we used to prescribe Dramamine for dogs when I was vet-teching, but I cannot remember the dose.
    Benadryl can also have anti-emetic properties, and the dose for that is 1mg/lb.

    Give your vet a call, they should be willing to give you the dosing info for dramamine.

    My vet recommended that same dosage of Benadryl. It seems to work, but it makes him groggy, so it's probably best for long drives.

    I'll have to chat with my vet about Dramamine. Fortunately for me Kananga only gets sick sometimes. I tend to avoid feeding him anything a few hours before a car ride. We all know the signs (licking their lips, general upset look, etc).

  • Moses starts foaming and dripping early on in the trip..like right around the corner from our house..but I am calling my vet to ask him about the dosage..greta idea guys thanks.
    Yes, one of the greatest thinks about these hound breeds..is watching them run, so I would love for Moses to come along and have fun too.

  • Maybe taking him on short trips with some walks and dry treats between the drives might help him?
    Don't know, just an idea.

  • Your pictures of Otis are so great - plain to see he was having a wonderful time! As to Moses sickness, my vet in the past has given me a prescription for vomiting when Gemma was running both ends a while back, and it worked very well. Your vet should be able to help you with that.

  • Just wanted to add that I gave Moses a guarter of a pill for children for motion sickness, waited for about an hour and then took him with us to the wildeness park that is about 40 minutes from the house..
    He did great, no foaming no throwing up no nothing.

    Thanks guys for your advice..Moses will ow come along when we go to run the fields.

  • Wonderful! Great news..

  • Thats good news Petra.

  • Now we'll have to have some photos of Moses running amok too. :D

  • I didn't bring the camera, somewhat thinking it wouldn't work, but I gladly was wrong…
    Will bring one next time. He had a ball though, running in the woods..so many smells..

  • Many years ago our vet advised us to use Dramamine. I think we gave it 1 hour prior to travel. It worked very well.

    He is doing really well, she is spoiling him, if possible, even more then I did. He is crated while she is at work, but she comes home and has lunch with him, she lives close to her job, so that works out really good. He has gotten adjusted really well. She dogs sits her nieces dog, a c–ker spaniel on several occasions and Otis and this dog loves eachother, she says Otis has a ball running that little dog in the ground.. ..but yes it is very hard, I still miss him terribly..my kids, the youngest one, keeps wondering when he is oming home again, and if he isn't can't we go visit him? I would love to visit as it sin't far from here, but I know that would not work out for Otis or for us..it would be too stressful for him if we "leave" him again and too emotional for us to see him, yet not bring him with us. I know he has it good, and I know Nina (his new mother) loves him and will do anything for him..that helps me a lot.

    I bet its great living on a ship Buana. Your 3 Dogs are beautiful. Our Basenji in his later years liked to wear a jumper at night, be covered with a fleece balnket and lay on top of a hot water bottle. He was just like me as i can't stand to be cold. Summer has gone in the UK too, it's rainy , rainy, rainy :(
