Boronia Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judy69 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 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.

judy69 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
