Gabapentin is a pain reliever. Veterinarians may prescribe it to control seizures in dogs and cats, or to treat chronic pain in dogs, cats, and horses.
It can be used as a seizure-control agent and helps manage chronic pain. A veterinarian determines the proper dosage and course of treatment.
It should not be given to animals that are allergic to it, or to pregnant or nursing animals. Use it with caution in animals with kidney disease.
