Gabapentin for Cats: What You Need to Know
If your vet has prescribed gabapentin for your cat, you might be surprised how many different forms and flavors are available—especially if your cat is picky or hard to medicate.
In this video, I walk through the most common types of gabapentin for cats: pills and liquids.
But there are other great options too—like transdermal ear gel and chews, especially if your cat is hard to pill or sensitive to flavors.
