My Whippet is 6 months old. I have had 2 others in the past, both mix breeds. Gypsy is not the first Whippet I have had to get car sick - they tend to be a bit on the anxious side; however, they have all out-grown it.
My question is this...Gypsy is so bad about getting sick in the car that she will no longer willingly (never did, actually) go near a car. She drools profusely from the time she is in the car, and ends up throwing up several times. Once she is out of the car, she is fine - as if nothing happened. The medicine for car sickness used to work; however, now she is getting sick even with medication. I do not think that she is actually "motion sick". I think it is more an anxiety attack, if you will.
I would like to be able to take her everywhere with me - she LOVES to be with me and loves to go...just HATES the car! How should I approach this problem with Gypsy?
