I have an 11 year old girl who has had a TPLO in both rear legs. As she has gotten older she has gotten stiffer in the rear. She is currently on Tramadol for pain. Has anyone heard of using Gabapentin in dogs? The vet stated that is one option we have to help her with pain and stiffness before moving to a narcotic. We would use it in addition to the Tramadol. She gets glucosamine with condroition and has for years. Any experience you can share would be appreciated.
Yes -- gabapentin is used with tramadol to break the pain cycle that would otherwise continually reinforce itself. Amantidine is another medication that is sometimes used with tramadol for this purpose.
I have not used either of the above. Have you had any luck with either one?
Yes I have tried both with excellent results, they work better than G&C. I prefer Trixsyn because it's easier to dispense. I give 1/2 teaspoon 2 x's per day. I get the Large dog strength. Read more at Trixsyn.com
