Our dog is about to start on gabapentin for leeg pain. Does anyone have any experience in this area. He is 16 yrs old and 35 lbs. I understand it is not approved for pet, but I am interested in any information.
I do not know much about the drug in question. Many pain killers designed for humans takes a toll on an animals insides. Our dog (45 lbs) has been on a pain killer by the name of PIROXICAM for over 3 years without showing any side effects. Many vets. promote drugs and in return get lunches, free samples etc. from pharmacutical sales reps.. Please request information on PIROXICAM. I am not a vet. nor a salesman. Hope this helps.

Yes, sorry, we do not have any vet information here, so we cannot help you with that usage info.
Many drugs that are useful in people also turn out to be useful in dogs.
