Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness and safety of oral gabapentin in reducing fear responses in confined community cats during trap-neuter-return (TNR) efforts.
- Cats were randomly assigned to receive either a placebo, a low dose (50 mg), or a high dose (100 mg) of gabapentin, and their fear levels were assessed over time by a blinded observer.
- Results showed that both doses of gabapentin significantly lowered fear scores without increasing sedation or causing adverse effects, suggesting it may be beneficial for managing stress in trapped cats.
