Our 6 mo dood just got neutered a few days ago and we were given trazodone and gabapentin to help keep him calm, but it seems to be doing the opposite. SO bitey and restless, and I’m just so frustrated. Also of course a lot of energy when not on the drugs so I feel like we can’t win. Trying our best to keep him entertained with puzzles, licking and chewing, and some light “play” but it’s obviously limited.

Anyone else have similar experiences with those drugs?? Any recommendations to add to our lineup of trying to get some energy out in a way that doesn’t require physical exertion?

I feel bad for the guy, he isn’t getting the proper physical stimulation obviously so I’m guessing he may just have a ton of pent up energy but I’m losin my mind!!
