Has anyone given gabapentin to a cat with heart disease? I'd like to try it on my Russell before he goes in for an echocardiogram on Tuesday (for suspected heart disease), but am nervous about sedating him and would love to hear others' experiences, good or bad, about using it on their heart...

My cat is experiencing pain but she will not eat the wet food with gabapentin mixed in it. She spits pills back out so pills are not an option. Question....does gabapentin come in a transdermal form?

...Monet is terrible at the vets. He turns aggressive and no vet can handle him. Took me a few vets to find one that was willing to prescribe Gabapentin to help his anxiety and sedate him a bit before the visit. No one wants to sedate him without proper tests he’s healthy given his age. i was...

The vet prescribed Gabapentin and Prednisolone for Lucy since she's having a bobbing head and a few silent/rigid seizure type of events. When Lu was taking the pain med (the one that starts with an O...the name has slipped my mind), she had none of these but after three days, she can't take...

I will for sure consult with my vet on Mon or Tuesday (whenever one of them will call me back.) Betty has been taking gabapentin twice daily for about 10 months. She was on a relatively low dose of 35 mg twice a day for most of that time. In the last month or so, I tried her on a higher 50 mg...

...vet has recommended a palliative approach and I want her to be as comfortable as possible. When I posted last, I asked about tricks for gabapentin administration. We eventually found a way the worked - dissolving the tablets or sprinkling the capsules in wet food. However, this no longer...

Does anyone have experience with using these together? my girl had teeth removed maybe 7 years ago. She was never right after the surgery. Always ate funny, like chewing at air. She went back under twice but they could not figure it out why the snapping noise or pain. She just adjusted, the...

...and wet twice. She was peeing today and last night (friday) about a donut hole size clumps. She has had 2 antibiotics doses and 2 doses of gabapentin. I skipped any Saturday as she was feeling better. Vet said as needed. Well late Saturday/Sunday morning she went in the litter box but...

...stressful as this. Hank is a super kind stray but he’s nervous and in pain. I’m very anxious that when I have to give him his 1ml dose of gabapentin tonight he’ll fight me or reject it. I heard that it tastes super bitter so hiding it in his food may not work (like it does with his...

My cat recently got spayed Friday and she's fighting with me on the syringe my vets currently closed on Friday I'm wondering if anyone can suggest to mix it with wet food.

My cat is currently on Gabapentin and Prednisolone and I'd really like to start her on CBD. I've read on the internet that Gabapentin and CBD might have bad interactions with each other and I was wondering if anyone has used them together. Ideally I would like the CBD to replace one or both of...

Has anyone had their cat on gabapentin long term? If so, did they build a tolerance to it after some time? I have had my boy on it since February. He has stomach cancer and it has seemed to help him immensely. Despite a terminal diagnosis he has seemed the happiest he has ever been in his 14...

Hi, If there's anyone else here who has to give their cat 100 mg (or somewhere close to that) of Gabapentin before medical exams, can you please share if you've noticed low platelet count readings on their blood test results? I read online that certain drugs can lower platelet counts but am...

Hi everyone: I know gabapentin can cause drowsiness and ataxia, but can it cause loose stools too? Henry takes a probiotic - fortiflora - per the vet's instructions. Henry was taking antibiotics for a bad abscess (long story short: He was abandoned by his former owners - they got dogs & booted...

...urinalysis and did not find anything. He had tried Prozac before but it caused him to be constipated and not pee. The vet suggested trying gabapentin as that’s a more fast acting drug and can also help with anxiety. I gave some to him Friday morning (100mg, he’s a 10 lb cat), and he threw up...

...test for responsiveness, checked her blood, checked her visually and her fur. All looked good. The vet recommended trying her on gabapentin which she said can be helpful in hyperesthesia. I am somewhat familiar with it as I have a boy who had a blockage that was on it during recovery. I just...

hi! I have a 13-ish year old cat named Eris, she was just recently dx'd with osteoarthritis caused by hip dysplasia. she's been on gabapentin for a few weeks now for pain, though unfortunately I'm talking to my vet about trying something else - she gets really bad incoordination from it, and it...

For those that have given their cats Gabapentin, did you find any pattern as how far before or after their typical mealtime to time the dose to maximize the chance it will help them eat more? My cat is also on Mirataz mirtazapine ointment the past two days and it hasn't gotten him eating. Just...

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone has or has had a cat on Gabapentin long term who can talk to me about tolerance. After starting on the medication, did your cat become tolerant to it and need the dosage increased? If so, how long was it before the first dosage increase and how often did you have...

I have gabapentin fast dissolving 'pills', compounded by a local pharmacy, that are 50 mg a piece, but there is a whole lot of 'residue' left in the bag they came in - which is obviously part of the original 60 'pills' I bought (at over $1 per 'pill'). As of today, I have only used about 50...
