Gabapentin is commonly used for the management of seizure disorders and chronic pain in pets. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants. Gabapentin is often used to address neuropathic pain, particularly in cats and dogs, and may be prescribed as part of a broader treatment plan for certain conditions.
In addition to its use in managing pain and seizures, Gabapentin is sometimes used in dogs and cats as an adjunctive treatment for refractory idiopathic epilepsy. For horses, Gabapentin may be prescribed in certain cases to manage seizures related to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, although its use in animals should always be determined by a veterinarian.
