Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Leo. Sounds like Leo needs some Cerenia for the trip. This is a prescription drug so he will have to get it through his veterinarian. It's great for motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. The key is starting the Cerenia one day prior to travel and continuing it throughout the trip. Good luck with Leo
