At first you mention you’d like your cat to be tapered off of gabapentin. But on the other hand, you mention that he just ran out and you’re concerned he still needs it. I would say that gabapentin can be continued if it’s helping your cat’s discomfort while he’s being treated for the infection, and he’s not too sedate with it. If your cat has not eaten in 24-72 hours, contact your vet. Without food, cats can have serious medical concerns in just a day. After 3 days, fat begins breaking down, which can lead to severe medical conditions. Can I add broth to cat food?

Answer: It's best to give the medication on an empty stomach, as this can help ensure proper absorption. However, if your cat refuses to take the medication without food, you can try mixing it with a small amount of wet food. 4. Generally it's best not to mix medications with their usual food. Gabapentin is bitter so your cat may not want to eat her food, and may even be suspicious of it when you stop putting gabapentin in it. Gabapentin is water soluble. You can put it in wet food after mixing it up, but when I’ve had to do it I just mount her and the syringe goes in the side of her mouth and to the back. She spits some out but swallows most of it. If your cat is taking gabapentin in capsule or tablet form, mix the prepared powder with a small amount of your cat’s favorite food or a bit of water so they can swallow it easily. If using the liquid form, use the syringe to carefully administer the medication directly into your cat’s mouth, slowly squirting it near the back of the tongue. 10. Can I put gabapentin in milk for my cat? Yes, gabapentin can be mixed with milk, or other tasty liquids but some cats will avoid drinking milk with the medication in it.

Yes, cats can develop a tolerance to gabapentin Yes, gabapentin tablets can be crushed and mixed with soft food for easier administration to cats.

I also found that the med itself was really strong. So that I can safely put her in a carrier to take her for her shots, my vet prescribed 100 mg Gabapentin for my cat. She is 9 years old and only 11.5 pounds. I adopted her a year ago and was told that she came from a house with 3 big bad dogs. Yes, it can be mixed with food. But, better make it a really good food, as I have found the med to have a fairly nasty taste. Also, to ensure she gets the full dose, you might try starting with a bite or two of food before giving her a full meal. Q: Can I mix Gabapentin with my cat’s food? A: Yes, you can mix Gabapentin with your cat’s food to make the administration process easier. However, it is important to ensure that your cat consumes the entire dose. Mixed with food, most cats find gabapentin palatable. Gabapentin is also available as a commercially available liquid or may be compounded as either a flavored tablet or liquid. Gabapentin is used in human medicine primarily as a seizure medication and to treat neuropathic (nerve) pain and anxiety. Another option is to put the gabapentin in an empty gel capsule so the cat can't taste anything, and then put a little churu on top. This worked for my heart failure cat, I'd put multiple meds inside the gel cap and then put churu on top like putting ketchup on a hot dog, and he'd just eat the whole thing.
