Hi everyone — my cat, Princess is 5 years old and was just diagnosed with hyperesthesia. She doesn’t have a bad case of it — she doesn’t have the hyperesthesia “attacks”, but has has frequent back skin rippling and periodically pulls out fur in pattern that indicates back pain. The the vet confirmed hypersensitivity with an exam.
She’s around 13 pounds and he’s starting her off at 50 mg of Gabapentin every 12 hours. I trust his diagnosis, but this seems like a high dosage to begin with for potential long-term use. I’m wondering if anyone else using gaba to treat this has had success at maybe 25 mg twice per day or less? Or if 50 twice a day is normal? I’ve tried Googling dosages and every site seems to suggest something different.
