13 lbs 6kg cat was prescribed 200mg gaba the night before and two hours before vet visit. Is this too much? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

Gabapentin?

Been on that myself. Would never give it to my cats.

It's actually a really effective drug to calm cats, among other animals. I always give it to my orange boy because he panics whenever he's in his transporter. On gabapentin he just chills in there, doesn't have elevated heart rates and doesn't cry.
