My dog has been prescribed 300mg Gabapentin. I left the bottle at my dog-sitters house. I also take 100 mg Gabapentin. I have read that I can give my dog Gabapentin human Gabapentin as long as it does not have xylitol in it. How can I be sure it does
Good question. If Xylitol is listed as an ingredient on the bottle, then it has xylitol in it. Typically the xylitol containing Gabapentin is the liquid version. If there is still any doubt, you should consider having your vet call in a new prescription to a pharamacy near you so that he/she doesn't go without his/her medication for long or potentially ingests a toxic form of Gabapentin. Also you should know for future that if Gabapentin is abruptly stopped in pets, it can lead to severe rebound pain in pets, so its best to keep your pet on it consistently or taper the dose. I hope that this helps! And best of luck moving forward with your pet. I hope that he/she gets his medication soon! Take care.

My 10yr old Pembroke Welsh Corgi teddy is a bit overweight. He's 40lbs but we have him on a diet food, but it still doesn't seem to be working. His back legs shake and he can't stand up for long. He has appt at end of the month. He was crying in pain
It may be that you’re just feeding too much or haven’t given the diet enough time. Start with the guideline on the bag and re-weigh in a month. If no changes, decrease each feeding by about 25%. Weigh in a month. Continue until you hit his ideal weight, then go up slightly to stop the loss and start maintaining. Weight loss is definitely crucial for managing arthritis so good work in that department. That dose of gabapentin is safe for him (and in fact what I might prescribe to him if you came to my clinic). However, it works much better when given consistently so do get a prescription just for Teddy from you vet. He or she will also want to make sure it’s nothing else serious going on like a fracture, fungal disease, or cancer. My other “go-to’s” for arthritis are high dose omega 3 fatty acids (about 1000mg fish oil daily) and a glucosamine chondroitin supplement. Talk with you vet as there are dozens of other options as well including Adequan, cold laser therapy, stem cell t

My dog, Labrador 40 kg, has osteosarcoma. He had been on Tramadol and Rimadyl for pain control but yesterday the vet recommended to add Gabapentin 900 mg once a day. Cautionsly, I gave him just 600 mg and he is completely lethargic. I'm afraid this d
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Milo! Gabapentin can cause sedation alone and even more so with tramadol. My starting dose for Milo based on the weight you provided is 400mg every 12 hours. It is absolutely fine for you to go lower and increase the dose slowly based on Milo’s response. I hope this helps and I wish you and Milo the best!

My 1 yr old Jack russell mix, weighs approx 30 to 35 lbs just ate 300mg of Gabapentin that I was trying to give to my other dog. This was about 20 minutes ago. Should I be concerned. He did ingest the whole 300 mg.
Thank you for providing Cooper's weight in your question, it's very helpful in answering! In veterinary medication, Gabapentin has many uses, such as treating seizures, pain, and anxiety. For example, if we were to use Gabapentin to treat anxiety, it can be used in a dose range of 5-30mg/kg up to three times daily. If he is 30 pounds, that's about 13.6kg. If we dosed him at the max of 30mg, that would be 409mg of Gabapentin he would be allowed to have at one time. This means that the amount he ingested (300mg) is a safe amount for him to have, but I expect that he will likely be very sleepy from this pill. I hope this helps!

Dog has special GI food, sensitive stomach. She hurt her neck Friday and was sent home with Rimadyl and Gabapentin. She gets them with food like advised, she eats at 5am and takes pills then small food snack at 11am, today she threw up around 1:45pm.
I would give her next dose of gabapentin with food at 5pm. I would not recommend giving any more Rimadyl until you can touch base with your vet tomorrow, because you're right - the vomiting could be from the Rimadyl. Your vet may be able to suggest a different medication to try if they think the Rimadyl didn't sit well with her. The vet may also determine if an anti-nausea medication might be appropriate to help minimize the risk of vomiting while on her meds. Hope this helps! All the best to Chili.
