alto you are missing the point if you are so focused on “winning” some sort of points in a faux debate. Can’t anyone ever just answer the questions that are asked without going off on these weird tangential debates within the question? it’s such a strange COTH mannerism.[/QUOTE]
As I recall you declared my study irrelevant, as it was about intravenous dosing of Gabapentin in horses - so I attempted to correct that misapprehension.
Then you state that only oral Gabapentin is FDA approved in horses - which is completely contradictory to my knowledge, but I’m always open to learning so I requested the studies.
I did look but could only find information supporting off-label veterinary use of Gabapentin (ie no FDA approval at all) - why you think this is an inappropriate request on my part, I am utterly confused.
I realize that the OP is satisfied with the information she has received, but many people read these forums so topics often go off on tangents or broaden to encompass discourse that was not initially intended by the OP.
You seem to think this is a “bad thing” whereas I consider it to be de rigueur for forums 
I don’t know how seeking factual, scientific based knowledge can be misconstrued as “winning” some sort of points in a faux debate.
I thought the New Bolton study to be of interest, as vets are tending to dose Gabapentin orally in horses, which is in contradiction to the New Bolton report (& other newer studies): if the OP was not seeing the pain-relief she/her vet expected with the Gabapentin, then it would be reasonable to either switch to an intravenous presentation or increase the oral dosage in an attempt to improve the bio-absorption: this is why I bothered haranguing on about Gabapentin …
NOT to score off points
No idea what the compounding pharmacies cook up for a research protocol within a single institution. So perhaps New Bolton has experience/knowledge on how to use IV gabapentin but I don’t think vets outside of New Bolton would have used it
I did consider the terms you applied to New Bolton & Wedgewood to be rather irreverent but if you choose to deny the excellent equine science that comes out of Veterinary Research Centres such as New Bolton, that is of course your prerogative & something I chose NOT to respond to - until you came on with rather inappropriate accusations/commentary.
