Prevents mast cells from degranulating — stopping the release of histamine, leukotrienes, and other inflammatory mediators before they trigger symptoms.
Blocks histamine H1 receptors directly at target tissues — a second line of action that manages symptoms even when some mediator release occurs.
Compounded gabapentin oral liquid for pets is formulated without xylitol — the sweetener in commercial liquid gabapentin that is toxic to dogs. Used for pain management and anxiety in cats and dogs.

Gabapentin binds to voltage-gated calcium channels in the nervous system, reducing neuronal excitability and pain signal transmission.
Commercial gabapentin liquid contains xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Compounding produces a xylitol-free formulation in appropriate veterinary concentrations.
Gabapentin is a widely used medication in veterinary medicine for pain management, seizure control, and anxiety reduction in both dogs and cats. While gabapentin capsules are available commercially and can be used in pets, the commercial oral liquid formulation (Neurontin oral solution) contains xylitol as a sweetener — a substance that is highly toxic to dogs, causing life-threatening hypoglycemia and liver failure.
Compounding pharmacies prepare xylitol-free gabapentin oral liquid specifically for veterinary use, eliminating this safety risk. The compounded version can be flavored (chicken, bacon, fish) for improved palatability and prepared in concentrations appropriate for the patient's weight.
Despite its name, gabapentin does not act on GABA receptors. Instead, it binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central and peripheral nervous system, reducing neuronal excitability and decreasing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters including glutamate, norepinephrine, and substance P.
This mechanism produces analgesic effects for neuropathic and chronic pain, anticonvulsant effects, and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties.
In dogs and cats, gabapentin oral liquid is used for chronic pain management (especially neuropathic and osteoarthritis pain), situational anxiety (veterinary visits, travel, storms), seizure management (as an adjunct to phenobarbital or potassium bromide), and post-operative pain control.

⚠️ Dosing should be determined by your prescriber. The information below is general guidance only.
The most common side effects are sedation and mild ataxia (wobbliness), particularly at higher doses or when starting therapy. These effects are generally dose-dependent and diminish with time. Gradual dose titration helps minimize sedation.
Gabapentin should be tapered rather than stopped abruptly, especially in animals that have been on it long-term, to avoid rebound effects.
