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?

Gabapentin is used in cats to manage chronic pain, control seizures, and reduce anxiety, especially during vet visits. The dosage varies, typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 mg per pound for pain relief, 2.5 to 5 mg per pound for seizures, and 20 mg/kg for anxiety before vet visits.

I found that link too. I decided to just give 100mg though they could do 120mg
