The dosage for gabapentin may vary depending on a cat’s size, as well as whether it’s being used as a pain medication, as part of seizure management, or as a sedative before vet visits or travel. From a safety perspective, a gabapentin dosage for cats will typically not exceed 50-100mg per cat to address pain or Most 10 lb cats do well with at least 100mg of gabapentin given 1- 1.5 hours prior to the stressful event. Best effects are achieved if the gabapentin is given the evening prior to the event and again 60-90 minutes before the vet visit or impending travel. Gabapentin capsules should be given orally, either by placing them directly in your cat’s mouth or by mixing the capsule contents with a small amount of wet food.
