Dog carsick? Can I use leftover anti-nausea meds from the vet?

Question

Ruger keeps getting carsick, the vet gave me some anti nausea pills for him while he has parvo, can I give those to him? I didn't end up using all of them, or is there something else I can do? Anti nausea pills: metoclopramide 10mg tablets. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 4 months and 29 days old | 50 lbs

Nausea due to car sickness is different than nausea due to internal illness. Metoclopramide treats nausea due to internal illness, so there is a good chance this medication won't work for this purpose. You can however give motion sickness medication, so just ask your pets veterinarian about over the counter options for him, or ask for the pet formulated motion sickness medication called Cerenia.
