Indeed, it is neuropathic pain that is the commonest reason gabapentin for dogs is prescribed. Gabapentin is a painkiller used for people and dogs; but thatâs not how this drug started life. It was developed as anti-seizure drug for people, and for once it was humans that acted as the guinea pigs for our pets.
The most common side effect seen with gabapentin is sedation. Your pet should be monitored for signs such as incoordination or drowsiness. Gabapentin is eliminated from the body almost entirely by the kidneys and urinary tract. Therefore, gabapentin should be used cautiously in animals suffering from kidney disease. You should not stop giving gabapentin to your pet suddenly. Doing so can result in life-threatening seizure activity.
