    Good Vet Dosing Reference

    Had a prescription for gabapentin come across the bench the other day for an 8 year old, and boy the dose seemed high. As I prepared to contact the prescriber, I realized the patient had four legs and a tail. For the life of me, I couldn't find a decent vet dosing guide. Do you have a go-to?
