Everyone in my life said I didn't, but what else are they going to say? My best friend lost her dog to a seizure that didn't stop it had happened at an emergency vet and she wasn't even there with her dog at the time, and she promises me my regret would be greater if he died in that horrible way. But I am driving myself insane. I can't stop crying. My dog was prescribed gabapentin for pain-relief. He has IVDD and kidney disease. My dog is 14lbs and was prescribed 100mg every 12hrs. Is this a reasonable dosage? After taking the medication, he does not seem to be able to move anymore. The vet never mentioned any side-effects related to the drug. Is this possible overdose? The vet also never mentioned anything about tapering off the drug My 13 year old American bulldog Lola passed away on March 2. I came home from work to find she had a heart attack or stroke. She was still hanging on, and died in my arms on the way to emergency vet. Adrenaline is strange, I was able to scoop up my 80 pound dog like she was 10 pounds. She started gabapentin a week before for back leg arthritis What are the risks of using Gabapentin to euthanize my dog? Using Gabapentin for euthanasia can lead to a slow and painful death for your dog. It may not effectively stop their breathing or heart function, resulting in prolonged distress.

About a year ago, my then girlfriend was about to move in with me. My dog had a broken back from an injury 4 years prior. The injury was my fault, but he has healed and can walk and run now. However, he tweaked his back jumping up on a wall. After taking him to the vet, he was given gabapentin for his pain (prescribed by vet). My dog weighs 27lbs and was given 400 mg of gabapentin (200mg and She refuses to apologize or acknowledge she killed him and again blames it on the gabapentin and injuring his back 4 years ago. I find the behavior morally reprehensible and refuse to be with someone who can't do the bare minimum of accepting responsibility to for doing something terrible to someone they loved (she claimed she loved my dog). When Ronda Archangelo’s dog Mimi died after being treated with gabapentin that contained xylitol, she wondered how such a tragic mistake could have happened. Her veterinarian realized she made a terrible mistake, admitting she didn’t know the liquid solution of gabapentin contained xylitol, but she didn't think the amount of xylitol was enough to harm Mimi. I think the vet killed my dog My dog (Luna) has aged to 13, started developing some problems that come with aging (arthritis, cataracts, ear blockage, shedding, more frequent trips to the loo) but was still pretty well and excitable. Two weeks ago my mum booked an appointment for a check up since her last visit diagnosed her with regenerative I always get downvoted into oblivion for this, but Gabapentin killed my last dog - it’s used off label for veterinary medicine, and most pet owners are not informed of the risk. Discover how to recognize gabapentin overdose symptoms in dogs. Learn how to prevent overdoses and safely manage pain, anxiety, or seizures in your pet. My question is - did the Gabapentin cause the kidney and liver failure? Is there any possibility she has had kidney and liver failure for a while and no one caught this? She also had hyperthyroidism which we had no idea about until just last week. Could the extremely high dose of Gabapentin trigger the kidney and/or liver failure? Gabapentin should only be given in the tablet or capsule form because the human liquid version of gabapentin contains xylitol which is highly toxic to dogs and can cause liver toxicity and death! Before giving your dog gabapentin, you should mention to your veterinarian any other medications that your dog is currently taking.

Overview of Gabapentin Gabapentin, a widely used anticonvulsant, plays an essential role in managing various conditions in dogs, including chronic pain and anxiety. The past few weeks have been extremely hard. My dog, Stuart, who is only three years old, is dying because his liver is failing. It started a few months ago but he was eating enough to not be too worried. We took him in before Thanksgiving and the vet checked his teeth and jaw and suggested changing up his food. That worked but a few weeks ago, he started losing weight because he was eating so My poor Madison. I do everything I can to protect my dogs and I feel like I failed her.

My sweet girl, has been on gabapentin and rimadyl for arthritis for a few years, and she seemed to be doing well on them. During our recent visit to the vet, she recommended a new Gabapentin, while generally safe when administered correctly, carries significant risks when given in doses exceeding the prescribed amount. The clinical presentation of an overdose varies depending on the quantity ingested and the individual dog’s characteristics, such as age, breed, and overall health. My dog's arthritis thankfully isn't that bad, so I might hold off and go back on gabapentin for now. But I hate to fall for conspiracy theories, and not relieve him of his pain if this drug truly is safe.

Regular monitoring and communication with your veterinarian are essential to ensuring the safe use of gabapentin in dogs with kidney disease.
