My 65lb pit bull ate too many Gabapentin pills. What should I do?

That is nearly 6 times the dose for his size, I would seek out emergency care from your vet or clinic right away. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline - https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ - (there is a fee for this service) for more information, however, if he is showing any signs of illness (extreme lethargy, confusion, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) seeking care right away is best.

Hi, Gabapentin overdose can cause sedation and drowsiness and its effect should gradually disappear over the next 12 hours. If Bunty is excessively sedated I would ring your closer vets to have her checked over. Hopefully she has not eaten it !

Gabapentin has quite a large safety margin, the maximum dosage is about 15mg per pound but even a higher dosage for a one time ingestion is not likely to cause any severe side effects. how much does you puppy weights?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mia. Gabapentin has a very wide dosing range. The amount given will likely make her sedate, but should not cause her any long lasting harm. Give her next dose back on schedule if she is not too groggy. If so, you can wait an extra hour or two to give it more time to wear off. I hope this information helps!

If Arya ate gabapentin, the most likely side effects you would see are sedation and ataxia (difficulty walking). Luckily there have been no serious safety issues reported in cats. You could also see some GI issues like vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. I hope this helps.

Gabapentin has a pretty wide dosage range, so even if you double the dose it is unlikely to be toxic. The most common symptom of too high a dose is sedation. If you need to break open the pills, a more effective way of making sure that Quinton gets all of the powder would be to mix it in a very small amount of wet dog food.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Nikolai should be okay as far as toxicity goes. 300mg is a lot but not at the point at which you would see liver toxicity or other adverse health problems. However, that being said, if he is still lethargic and acting abnormal, I would recommend taking him in to be seen by a veterinarian and have his blood tested to establish a baseline as well. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
