If your dog recently started taking gabapentin and you are wondering about the gabapentin side effects in dogs, this article is for you. Integrative veterinarian Dr. Julie Buzby discusses what side effects to watch for, and how those side effects can be minimized or managed. What Is Gabapentin for Dogs? Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant and analgesic drug that is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat pain, seizures, and anxiety in dogs. How gabapentin works is not completely understood; however, it is thought to block stimulation of the nerve cells. My sister's dog and my current foster are in the 30-40# range and have been told by different vets that 400 mg of gabapentin is fine every 8 hours for super high anxiety and reactive behavior. My 85# pittie takes 300 mg 2x per day, more for pain but it has helped with reactivity too. /r/dogs is a place for dog owners of all levels of knowledge, skill, and experience to discuss various topics related to responsible dog ownership.

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? In the meantime, though, a Banfield doctor had prescribed Gabapentin over the phone and I have been using it in hopes that it will keep her relatively stable (the emergency vet said that Gabapentin by itself is not very effective at treating seizures).

She even said we can top off at 1000mg of gaba and still be within his limits 😳. My large, getting to be elderly dog is having some pain/mobility issues.
