The short answer is: yes, gabapentin can potentially contribute to a dog’s inability to walk, although it’s rarely a direct cause of complete paralysis. My dog was prescribed gabapentin for pain-relief. He has IVDD and kidney disease. My dog is 14lbs and was prescribed 100mg every 12hrs. 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. I can tell you with 100% certainty that tremors are a possible side effect for dogs who are actively taking Gabapentin. I took my dog off of Gabapentin briefly. The tremors immediately stopped.
