It is important to monitor the animal’s condition to ensure improvement and check for any side effects.
Possible interactions include anticonvulsants, analgesics, or sedatives, which may alter effectiveness or cause adverse effects. Always consult a veterinarian.
This medication should not be administered to animals with kidney (renal) or liver (hepatic) issues. Pregnant females should also not be treated with gabapentin.
It can have a sedative effect on animals and may cause a loss of coordination.
The medication should not be abruptly discontinued when used for its anticonvulsant effect, as this could trigger seizures.
Additionally, Neurontin® (the human formulation of gabapentin) should not be used for pets because it contains xylitol, a substance toxic to animals.
