VerifiedHi there, my name is***** a licensed veterinarian with Just Answer. I apologize nobody got to you sooner. I wanted to hop on and get an answer to you as quickly as possible since your baby is in pain.
It is completely safe to give an additional gabapentin dose and there should be no concern with having been on prednisone.
I would go ahead and keep her on the gabapentin every 8 hours until its gone. Thankfully mouths heal really fast so hopefully only a few days of pain medications is needed.
