Sorry to appear when things are going bad again, but I am quite worried about Mr Bubble, who is now 12.
He has been having problems with his balance for a few months, and has been treated for ec because his blood test showed high levels of the parasite. He is also on metacam and Tramadol for eye ulcers, and emeprid to help his poos. He is blind from cataracts and his limited hearing. The vet prescribed gabapentin 0.1ml twice a day about a week ago to try to help his mobility.
These past few days, Bubble has been much worse. He had an increase of the gabapentin yesterday to 0.15 ml twice a day and today is having a lot of problem with his rear end. At times he is circling with his back end on the ground, at other times he just can't get up. Does anyone know if it could be the gabapentin? I don't know how much it is fair to put him through, at his age and being blind. My heart breaks seeing him like this.
I will contact the vet tomorrow but just wondered if anyone knew if the gabapentin could cause this?
