My 4.8kg cat is very fractious for vet visits, so the vet originally suggested 100mg gabapentin 2 hours before his appointment. Since that wasn't enough to relax him adequately, for his next visit, they increased the dosage to 150mg, which still didn't do the trick. Next, they suggested adding a dose the night before, but it wasn't until we got to 200mg gabapentin the night before, plus another 200mg the morning of, that he finally mellowed out juuuust enough that they could examine him.

Thanks for telling me this! :) I ended up doing 100 then 100. Less than they said.

Did it do the trick?

Yes, they were quite chill but not out of it.
