She was woozy that day, which is how we were hoping it would be. The point is for her to be a little woozy *during the trip* but not after.

So I'll try it once more between now and the first of november (our scheduled final departure date).

And then - she won't get any at all, until the night before the first leg from Connecticut to Virginia. Three days' worth only, because that's how many days we'll be on the road.
And it might be fine if the dog or cat is lying down in the back seat or in a crate as opposed to walking around.
