Gabapentin Vs Melatonin?
We have a fully blind 14.5 parsons russell terrier who is up all night. We are not sure if it’s sundowning or having lost circadian rhythms with going fully blind within last 6 months.
His eye vet recommended gabapentin and our primary vet said melatonin in the evening is ok to try (and a sedative if the melatonin doesn’t work).
I’m thinking we will start with the melatonin and then try something else after that is prescribed.
If you have experienced something similar would you recommend starting with melatonin first?
It’s very strange too but if you feed him he settles down (loves his k/d food for early kidney disease). He still has us wrapped around his finger, he is such a good boy and nobody is sleeping in this house!!! HALP!
