Valerian root should not be used in young puppies without the advice of your veterinarian or certified veterinary homeopath. Another natural option is ginger which may be a safer and better tolerated. Search online for a dose based on Bella's body weight. Contact your veterinarian to discuss an appropriate dose of Dramamine which can be used in dogs. Cerenia, a prescription medication for nausea, is also an option if her condition is not helped by the aforementioned choices.
