My dog got gabapentin early after surgery. Should I worry?

Question

My 30lb beagle just had a ruptured disk surgery last Thursday and she’s been on gabapentin 300mg 3x’s/day... I accidentally gave her today’s last dose 3 hours earlier.. Last dosage was given at 6pm and I gave her another dose at 11pm.. should I be worried??? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 7 years and 1 month old | 28 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mia. Gabapentin has a very wide dosing range. The amount given will likely make her sedate, but should not cause her any long lasting harm. Give her next dose back on schedule if she is not too groggy. If so, you can wait an extra hour or two to give it more time to wear off. I hope this information helps!
