Hi everyone:
I know gabapentin can cause drowsiness and ataxia, but can it cause loose stools too? Henry takes a probiotic - fortiflora - per the vet's instructions. Henry was taking antibiotics for a bad abscess (long story short: He was abandoned by his former owners - they got dogs & booted their cats outdoors. Cat was attacked by other cats).
The infection is cleared and the antibiotics were stopped two days ago. However, he is still taking gabapentin.
Is the diarrhea Henry is experiencing a result of the gabapentin? He doesn't act sick - eating, drinking is normal. The other cats in the household are fine - no diarrhea problems.
Please advise. Poor Henry has a tough life
