Thanks for reaching out with your concern! It's great that you're being cautious about your cat's medication. Gabapentin is commonly prescribed for cats to manage pain and discomfort, and sometimes for anxiety related to urinary issues. The dose of 100mg twice a day is commonly used, but the appropriateness of this dose depends on your cat’s size, specific health condition, and how they individually metabolize the medication.
If your cat seems excessively sleepy, unsteady, or has trouble walking, these could be signs that the dose might need adjusting. On the other hand, if you’re not seeing an improvement in symptoms, it’s important to consult with your vet rather than adjusting the dose on your own.
For at-home care, make sure your cat has a clean, comfortable space to rest. Ensure they continue eating, drinking, and using the litter box. Encourage hydration by offering fresh water frequently.
Watch for signs of serious issues like vomiting, extreme lethargy, loss of appetite, or if your cat is not urinating or seems in pain while trying to urinate. These signs warrant immediate veterinary attention.
If you still have concerns or notice these signs, I’d recommend scheduling a video consult through Dial A Vet. We can then discuss your cat's symptoms in more detail and make any necessary adjustments to their care plan.

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
