Welcome! I would be happy to assist you. I am a 2003 graduate from UC Davis and a Medical Director of a veterinarian practice.

Hello,

For motion sickness:

To help with nausea and motion sickness, many vets will recommend giving Meclizine:
Meclizine
or
Dramamine

A wonderful medication for motion sickness AND nausea, is Cerenia (a once a day medication):
Cerenia

Specific dosing directions for dramamine are in the link above.

Also, take some Pepcid A.C. antacid with you as well to help with nausea.

Pepcid A.C. (famotidine) comes in 10mg, 20mg, or 40mg tablets.
You can give it every 12 hours. You can give 0.5mg per pound of body weight. So, a 20 pound dog would get 10mg.

Hope that info helps

Unfortunately, I cannot legally prescribe medications or offer a definitive diagnosis without performing a physical examination, which is necessary to establish a client-patient-doctor relationship. Any medical therapy and treatment should only be performed after an in-person examination with your veterinarian.
