Meclizine can be used to treat vestibular issues in dogs by helping to reduce symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and imbalance. It works by blocking certain signals in the brain that are responsible for causing these symptoms. This can help improve the dog's overall balance and coordination. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for proper dosage and administration of meclizine to ensure the best results for the dog's vestibular issues.
Yellow fluid tends to be bile, which is from the upper small intestine and means your dog was throwing up on an empty stomach. This was probably from stress, or possibly from motion sickness - I would expect it to recur during car rides unless you train your dog to tolerate it better or have your veterinarian suggest some anti-nausea medication for the motion sickness.
Bring your dog on short car rides, and gradually take him on longer ones.
