Hello there! It's great that you're checking in about this. Gabapentin is often prescribed for pets to manage pain or seizures, and it typically comes in capsule or tablet form. If your furry friend struggles with pills, you can mix gabapentin with water. Simply open the capsule or crush the tablet and dissolve it in a small amount of water. This can make it easier to administer, especially if you use a syringe to give it orally.
A few things to keep in mind: always ensure that the entire mixture is consumed to deliver the full dose. It's essential to use just enough water to disguise the medication but not so much that your pet can't finish it.
Look out for any unusual reactions such as vomiting, lethargy, or difficulty walking, which might indicate the medication isn't being well-tolerated, and you should contact a vet if you notice these.
If you're still unsure or face any trouble while giving the medication, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can provide personalized advice and ensure your pet gets the best care. Looking forward to helping you and your pet further!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
