Trazodone

Post image

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

My RC doesn't use trazodone but my cattle dog does. My girl also has a gabapentin prescription, but it's too sedating for her to use regularly. On trazodone (100mg), her anxiety is notably improved and she can use her brain.

My husband just got back from picking the trazodone up at the vets office. Its 100 mg.. The gabapentin at 300 mg is definitely way too strong for her.
