Rescue Remedy

[Boronia]

Is there a noise in the turbo, transmission or gearbox? (like a high pitched sound) I can sometimes hear that type of noise in some heavy vehicles and it drives me nuts. If there is you could try putting in some additive that your local transmission/gearbox specialist recommends.

Worth a go.

I just gave him a ginger nut to see if he would eat them. He polished it off pretty quick. If he didn't like them they wouldn't go to waste as I love ginger nuts.

i'm inclined to go with car sick. Try half a ginger nut biscuit!!

Really? How cool :)

You learn something new each day. I love DOL

I am inclined to agree with HW - it does sound more like car sickness, rather than anxiety.

I hope your little one eats the ginger biscuit because it did work with my older boy..

That is exactly what Zig is like on a trip.. First half hour is fine then he starts to drool, shake, won't sit down, hangs his head..

I stop the car and get him out for 5 minutes and he is fine again.. We get back in and within 20-30 minutes he is doing the same thing again. Stop again etc..

I can't get him to eat anything, even when we stop.. I took ginger biscuits on our last trip to Sydney and he just turns his head away, when they are offered.

I even bought him a lemonade ice block and he turned away from it..

judy69 also ..make sure he has LONG walks/runs .. so at least his body is a bit weary ... give him RR every 1/2 hr ... a drop on that bare skin on the back of his ears .. or one drop on his gums ...

Wow! Never thought of a drop on that bare skin. Excellent.

As a matter of interest, I wonder if a Rescue Remedy candy might work too? 99% sure I noticed one that did not have alcohol.

Thanks

Yep this sounds like what Bud does. I hope I can get him to eat the ginger nut before we go.

Ok so we left Mt Isa today and are now at Barkly Homestead in NT. I tried to get Bud to have some ginger nut biscuit this morning but he wouldn't eat it. Gave him a drop of rescue remedy every half hour as Persephone suggested. This seemed to help a little bit but he would still start panting not long afterwards. I tried moving his bed into different spots but that didn't make any difference. He would just try and get as close to me as possible. We stopped a few times and let him get out and walk around and he was fine. Once we got going again after a lunch stop he seemed a bit better but we were off Qld roads and into NT roads which were a bit better. He would still pant a little but not as much as before. I'm wondering if maybe he is just getting used to long trips in the truck as he only did short trips previously. I have run out of things to try and just don't know what to do to fix the problem. We are staying here for 2 nights so he can have a break from travelling.
