My girlie is part shepherd so she is a pro at car sickness!! Poor girlie. I used to feed her crystalized ginger pieces (ginger slices dried and coated in sugar) and that helped for a while.

I had never heard of the clock idea but that would make sense of possible human contact/heartbeat maybe. I plan on putting some unwashed laundry in there with her so she has her scent and my scent from home (a towel of hers and my pajamas) to comfort her.

I'll find out more from dog doc tomorrow. Never in my life did I expect to be flying my pet in a cargo hold while I lived the high class coach life with no leg room and mystery meals (hint......order the kosher meal instead of vegetarian.........it is awesome and usually veg anyway)

Hmmm...........shoulda looked into the emotional service support animal stuff and the ADA before this flight. I have had folks mention before that if she is well behaved/trained then she could be my support animal and go places with me without discrimination. Still.........doesn't get her an airline seat next to mine!! lol

Thanks again for the ideas and support. Like I said above to Dexter if my largest worry is not being able to get through customs in time then I'm sure both me and dog will be fine. I always stress about clearing customs in time for connecting flight. I loathe this airport I'm connecting through!!
