Hi, no this is the dosage we use for a standard weight cat to make them a bit drowsy and less anxious to go and see the vet, it normally works very well ! It sounds a lot but it is what we normally give. Hope this helps and that it works well for you too.

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.

Yes, it is safe to use these together. But I would encourage you to discuss other medications for anxiety with Ellie's vet. Gabapentin isn't a medication used for anxiety. It is a medication used for pain and seizures. It has a mild to moderate sedative effect that wears off the longer it is given. Ellie would be better off on a medication that is truly used for anxiety, like an SSRI used in humans.

Gabapentin can be very useful to reduce anxiety and stress in cats (which can give high blood pressure readings in themselves) and generally only lasts a few hours. If he is disoriented or confused contact your Vets office to discuss his case further

Good question. If Xylitol is listed as an ingredient on the bottle, then it has xylitol in it. Typically the xylitol containing Gabapentin is the liquid version. If there is still any doubt, you should consider having your vet call in a new prescription to a pharamacy near you so that he/she doesn't go without his/her medication for long or potentially ingests a toxic form of Gabapentin. Also you should know for future that if Gabapentin is abruptly stopped in pets, it can lead to severe rebound pain in pets, so its best to keep your pet on it consistently or taper the dose. I hope that this helps! And best of luck moving forward with your pet. I hope that he/she gets his medication soon! Take care.
