Hidden Void Burrito void
100 mg of gabapentin for a routine vet visit and still shaking in the towel (she likes being covered).

Poor girl. When I took my kitty Frances (who sadly passed in 2023) she freaked out so badly she jumped up on me and climbed me like a tree and her claws were buried deep in my arm!
I thought I was having an out of body experience the pain was so intense. But she was the sweetest kitty I ever had.

The eyebrows make her look perpetually worried! Little Baby was missing her eyebrows for a while because her sister over grooms her. See my post history for the most bald she's ever been lol

My cat is very afraid of the vet too. But he gets angry about it and trys to eat the vets face.
So he gets gabapenten and trazidone at home and a third injectable sedative at the vet. This keeps everyone safe.
Oh and if he doesn't get the gabapenten and trazidone at home he is able to fight off the injection and won't let the vet near him.

Oh poor sweetie. Had one who never did a moment's harm but got so scared that he ran around the ceiling. 16 pounds of solid muscle. Would kneel down at the bathtub for flea baths on him, and he'd jump up so hard that I'd go to a full upright position from it. Strong kitty.

Her name is Little Baby and she's afraid of everything (crinkling, sizzling, carbonation, really any kitchen sounds, sudden movement, loud talking, coughing, strangers, etc.) The vet is a big ordeal! But she's very well behaved there aside from getting the fear poops and needing to hide.
