It is a human drug and that is the lowest capsule strength available. It is best to ask your vet to have the drug compounded into a liquid or a transdermal gel. You dividing the capsules is not ideal - you are not likely to get a correct dose. Roadrunner Pharmacy can compound it for you. Your vet can call in a prescription and the pharmacy can ship it right to you. ( https://roadrunnerpharmacy.com/product-catalog/ )

Gabapentin is no longer used for seizures as there are much more effective medications. max needs to be examined by the veterinarian today to be tested for different causes of seizures and then to discuss the best medication. I hope this helps and that Max responds to treatment.

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.

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.

They may be compounded tablets. Often if vets cannot get a medication at a lower strength, they will get them compounded to the strength they need. I suggest you contact your vet when you get a chance to confirm what you are giving. In the meantime you can give it as directed. Gabapentin has a pretty wide dosing range. For treatment for seizures in cats, gabapentin is started at 2.5 to 5 mg per pound (5 to 10 mg/kg) every 8 to 12 hours. Doses up to 10 mg per pound every 6 hours has been used in some cats. For pain control in cats, doses range from 1.5 to 5 mg per pound (1.25 to 2.5 mg/kg) every 12 hours. Higher doses (up to 50 mg per cat 1 to 3 times daily) are recommended by some vets. So, even if you are giving 100mg twice a day it should not be harmful. She may just be very sleepy if it is a higher dose than what was intended.
