Health & WellnessCan I give my dog my human Gabapentin? Is it safe and xylitol-free?
Good question. If Xylitol is listed as an ingredient on the bottle, then it has xylitol in it. Typically the xylitol containing Gabapentin is the liquid version.
If there is still any doubt, you should consider having your vet call in a new prescription to a pharamacy near you so that he/she doesn't go without his/her medication for long or potentially ingests a toxic form of Gabapentin. Also you should know for future that if Gabapentin is abruptly stopped in pets, it can lead to severe rebound pain in pets, so its best to keep your pet on it consistently or taper the dose.
I hope that this helps! And best of luck moving forward with your pet. I hope that he/she gets his medication soon! Take care.
