Our vet prescribed Cerenia for car sickness. Teddy didn't throw up but unfortunately, he had the side effect of excessive drooling. He was a puddle when we got to our destination 5 hours later. He was also not himself the next day. We gave him Dramamine for the ride home and had better results. No throwing up or drooling. I realize this is for a different situation.

So far, the Cerenia seems to be helping Boo. He does seem to be a little more sleepy than usual. Not sure, if that is a side effect or just part of the recovery process. Irregardless, I am seeing improvement, which makes me happy. Back to vet tomorrow for some more fluids and mini labs.

YAY!!! I can’t say that I’ve seen that it made any of mine sleepy, but they are all a lot younger thanBoo, and probably metabolize drugs differently.

I've used Cerenia a number of times over the years and dogs, for stomach upset issues. I think it's awesome to have on hand. I buy it on Amazon, waaay cheaper than my vet. She is willing to give me a Rx to do that.

Has anyone had their Havi develop slight constipation with use of Cerenia? After the third day, taking Cerenia, Boo’s stool became pebble like, firm but not rock hard. Color still normal and no blood is stool.

BoosDad, I'm sorry that Boo is having a hard time. 🥺

I know you've already thought of it, but I'd ask your vet. It seems to me that there can be different side effects for many different dogs, (or people, too.) Maybe the vet would have you alter the dose?

Also, if you need to vary the anti-nausea med with a different one, you could ask about Zofran, (ondansetron.) That is what I would give Tucker as needed.

Hugs to Boo. And you, too.

No, but I've never used it for more than a day or two in a row, either.

Dusty has taken Cerenia on and off for years with no bad effects. He also has taken Zofran on a more regular basis.
