Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Paracetamol can be given at the same time as gabapentin. However, as online advisors we are not allowed to provide information about dosage or recommend any treatment. Please, give your vet a call to discuss using paracetamol for Yoschi. I am convinced that your vet will say OK to that as there are not very many contraindications to use this drug in dogs and it does provide extra pain relief.
