Made a discovery last night when Meri, after a day of not scratching, went into a scratching attack after I dosed him with his meds through a syringe. Frustrated as heck, I fed him another .5 dose of Gabapentin. An hour later, he finally calmed and went to sleep . . . And didn't have another problem ALL night and with no further need of meds! That's because the little butt holds that medicine in his mouth and slobbers all out. Solution; I squirt water after I dose him now to make sure he swallows what's in his mouth. I now know he spit them up if he doesn't look like the attached picture shortly after I dose him. He also ate an entire plate of food after being dosed like this. I never would've believed he was holding them in his mouth and drooling them out. Now he can go for close to twelve hours without another dose.
