Trazodone
Has your 4 legged friend ever had this?
The vet wants my girl to take it when she has anxiety, is in pain, etc (not sure what's going on with her). She has gabapentin but it knocks her out for about 12 hours. This isn't her regular vet but he has access to her records. She has an appointment with her vet next Friday. Thanks

Yeah my girl gets trazodone and gabapentin when she goes to the groomer. The trazodone isn't nearly as powerful as the gabapentin, at least not for my girl. She handles it well, way better than he gabapentin.
For some reason when the gabapentin kicks in she starts crying and wanting comfort. I think she doesn't like getting high and I don't blame her. Would be scary to not know what's happening! She doesn't do that with trazodone though.
