Hi all! Been a while. Hope everyone is doing well!
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 reading the informational brochure the vet gave me and it says it’s used for seizures in humans, and help with pain in animals. Online tells me people use it to calm cats down and seems safe.
I want to hear your experiences with this drug? Monet is 15 years old and healthy as far as I can see. It’s been about 4-5 years since he has seen a vet and they couldn’t do much with his aggression. I just want to get bloodwork for peace of mind since he is an older cat. Did this drug help with stress levels? Is it safe as the sites says?
at least Cassie behaved really nicely and I got her checked over with bloodwork.
