We have our cat on liquid gabapentin and it's always a fight to get it in her, she won't eat food for like 2 days if we mix meds in it one day cause she doesn't trust it after that so we gotta go the kitty burrito route for her med administration. My cat has been foaming at the mouth after taking gabapentin. I think he’s having diarrhea from all of the wet food as Veterinarian's Assistant chat Customer: Hi- my cat has been foaming at the mouth after taking gabapentin. I think he’s having diarrhea from all of the wet food as well and it’s getting stuck on him from the litter box. Gabapentin is extremely safe for most cats and has been proven in studies to reduce short-term stress in our feline friends. Using gabapentin is a caring, effective addition that takes into consideration your cat’s emotional well-being as we care for their physical health. If your cat is foaming at the mouth consistently or is exhibiting other concerning symptoms, seek veterinary care to rule out any underlying health problems. In summary, cats foaming at the mouth after taking medicine can be a distressing experience for pet owners, but with proper understanding and care, it can be addressed effectively. I was prescribed Gabapentin to my 15+ yo cat to purportedly help with some pain that may or may not be related to an arthritic injury (other issues going on - see associated thread link below). I gave her the smallest dosage prescribed, via oral syringe - .25ml). She frothed at the mouth to Liquid medications usually taste terrible and cats will foam at the mouth when they taste terrible things. Ask your vet for an alternative, or if capsules would work for your cat better, assuming you can pill him. Why Is My Cat Foaming at the Mouth After Medication? First of all, there is a difference between foaming at the mouth and drooling. Both of which commonly happen for various reasons. When I talk about foaming from the mouth, I’m describing seeing excess saliva coming from your cat’s mouth which is frothy. Gabapentin capsules contain a powdered formulation that’s typically tasteless but may cause foaming or drooling if the cat finds the texture or flavor unpleasant. Gabapentin foaming at mouth I’m traveling with my 15yo spayed female cat, she has hyperthyroid and is on prescription food. The vet prescribed Garbapen liquid to help with her stress on a multi day road trip, but every time I give it to her she gets super foamy/heavy thick salivating and drooling. Can gabapentin make a cat's mouth foam? Side effects are rare in cats, but sedation is sometimes seen, lasting no longer than 8 hours. Salivating or frothing at the mouth may occur with the commercially available liquid, and resolves within a short time. Takedown request View complete answer on catcareclinic.net Has anyone had issues with kitties spitting up liquid Gabapentin/foaming at the mouth? I just gave Minky some (1.25 mL) like it said on the bottle for her hyperesthesia--she had a terrible reaction to it. She spit it all out and foamed at the mouth. She cannot have steroids she developed diabetes after her last shot for the hyperesthesia. Open the cats mouth as though you were giving a pill and, as quickly as possible, empty the syringe, close their mouths, and stroke their throat so they’ll swallow. One of our cats is really sensitive to gabapentin, so we tend to reduce the recommended dose; if the cat doesn’t get the whole dose you’ll probably be fine. She’s foaming at the mouth. We’re worried she got into medication gabapentin 300 (we don’t know how many); she threw up. Foaming is only rarely due to an allergic reaction to the medication, so do not panic if your cat begins to drool. Plastic pill guns are available if putting your finger into the cat’s mouth is dangerous or unsuccessful.
