I don't know about the exact dosage for gaba but if it doesn't appear to be working you should call your vet to see how you can come up with a more effective dosed. It's a drug that's only recently begun being used for dogs and phantom pain , so I can see why s/he was unsure about the exact amount. I hope it works for Frankie! Keep us posted.

Thanks i will call the vet on monday but will increase his meds tomorrow as my other lab has 3 tabs a day so i will move frankie up to 2 for the week end. He still has the leg and this pain has just started in the last 2 days.

Let us know how it goes. Please remember to ask your vet about how to withdraw him from gaba when he no longer needs it. I understand that it's not the kind of drug you should stop giving all of a sudden. I hope this works for him, it's so hard to know they're in pain.
