MaryJane Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Quite a few people with greyhounds on this forum use gabapentin for pain issues or seizures. When I used gaba, I used the capsule form and that is probably what most people are using however, you may still want to read the article even though it highlights an issue with the liquid form. More importantly, it highlights an issue in the way that the Merck manual specified the drug which is a good fact to file away in your head.http://www.poisonedpets.com/dog-dies-after-being-treated-with-gabapentin-exposing-flaws-in-the-divide-between-human-and-animal-drugs/?fbclid=IwAR2xI_KJupb2pBfClwcsf7BtYh1KgPsNlByMj4aF_bPYz9GJGwhhUC3a7dk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MP_the4pack Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks for sharing. My CC cannot take most pain meds because of her failing kidneys. Gabapentin is the first one we go to. We'll make sure she only gets pills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greysmom Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Like many, I never knew it came in liquid, though it makes sense for human consumption and use for young children with seizures.
