You can do some gentle massage to relax his muscles. Using heat on his back may relieve the pain also. Continue the gabapentin as directed and keep him quiet and in a bed or crate as movement may increase the pain. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Harley.
