I have another thread talking about my Shadow kitty's ongoing health issues. I am seeing a new vet and we go back for a follow-up this week. Last time we were there about two weeks ago they tried to take his blood and he just absolutely wouldn't cooperate and they didn't want to stress him out more, so they gave me Gabapentin to give him before our next visit. (He's actually a very chilled sweet cat who is completely not aggressive, he just did NOT want to do it. He did not try to hurt them, he just struggled to get away and even hissed in fear- I have NEVER heard him hiss, ever!)
But the dose seems extremely high- he's a chunky 15 pound cat and they said to give him a 300mg capsule (mixed in food), three hours before the appointment. From everything I have read, that is like double the recommended dose!
I just realized this tonight, so I am calling them tomorrow because there's no way that's correct... is it?
