Hello, and thank you for your question. It is great to hear that Ace is doing well! It is true that gabapentin is metabolized in the kidneys. If he is doing well on it, though, it would be reasonable to use as long as it is tapered to the lowest effective dose. I would also make sure that his kidney values are monitored regularly, ideally every 3-6 months. A narcotic is also a reasonable choice but can sometimes cause mild sedation. Ultimately what it comes down to is Ace's quality of life, and ensuring that he is comfortable and happy. I hope this helps, and that Ace continues to do well!

Unfortunately it is illegal for us to give dose information for prescription drugs without seeing your cat in person first. You need to check with Purrrcy's vet to see if this is an appropriate dose. Gabapentin in cats, however, is typically used for pain not sedation.

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Jack. For pain control in dogs, the dose can go as high at 5mg per pound, which would be 450mg. But it can be used up to 10mg per pound for dogs with seizures, so this isn't an overdose. It may be he needs the extra pain control. but I would speak to your vet about your concerns. Best of luck.

Oh, poor Flossie! According to the pharmacology of both medications, there should not be any problems with Flossie taking both at the same time. Some medications can increase the effect of phenobarbital, so keeping in contact with your vet about the dose you are giving will be important. Best of luck!

Gabapentin and amantadine can be given simultaneously, as there are no interactions between these drugs. They work quite well together to manage cases of neuropathic pain! Make sure to follow the dosing instructions from Kitkat's vet closely. If you are questioning the efficacy of Kitkat's medications, consider discussing alternative medication options with her vet.
