Please note that human medicines are not tested for toxicity to animals. Therefore, they should not be given without first consulting a veterinarian. Gabapentin is often recommended for the treatment of chronic pain and for controlling epileptic seizures in dogs and cats, but little information is available to assess its effectiveness. There is no fundamental difference in composition between drugs for humans and animals. If the drug is available in veterinary medicine, then the veterinarian can not issue a prescription for a human drug, containing the same active substance.
