Did my dog get too much Epiphen instead of Gabapentin? Is it safe?

Question

Hi I give my dog gabapentin 50mg 3 times a day and my vet is trialing epiphen 30mg half twice a day to see if it stops her shuffling behaviours She's only been on the epiphen for 10 days My question is this morning I gave her her tablets together but I have a nagging voice that I might have given her a full epiphen and a half by mistake instead of a gabapentin I'm 90 % sure I didn't and I gave her gab and epiphen but I can't shake the doubt She's responsive and wandering around and eating ok.

That would not cause any harm anyway as the dosage of an entire epiphen would not be toxic. Slight sedation can be caused by that but no other signs otherwise. I would recommend to continue to give half epiphen tonight as usual. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
