Gabapentin for Dogs and Cats
Gabapentin is a structural analogue of gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) which decreases the release of excitatory neurotransmitters by increasing the levels of GABA in the CNS. It is used both in dogs and cats for management of seizures and pain in combination with other analgesic agents. It has been shown to be an appropriate treatment for reducing hyperalgesia and allodynia associated with neuropathic pain.
