@neverleavethepetsbehind: Four months ago, we faced the hardest question a pet parent can hear. 💔 Maya had lost her mobility while taking gabapentin, and our vets gently asked if it might be time to say goodbye. We decided to try switching her to CBD instead, and look at her now, she is walking again! ✨🐾 Important note: We are absolutely NOT advising against gabapentin or the incredible work our vets do. Every dog and vet is different, and every patient reacts differently to medications. We are just so grateful to share Maya’s unique journey and that we get more time with her. 🙏 We’d love to hear from our community, what have you done to help your senior dog’s mobility? Have you had any specific experiences with gabapentin? Let us know below! 👇 #gabapentin #seniordog #seniordogs #dogmobility #seniorpets
if a vet offers gabapentin for your pets, ask for something else... anything else..

Did they ever say anything about prednisone? Vets recommended I put down my standard dachshund when she was paralyzed with IVDD… i said hell no, did a month of prednisone and she eventually started running again and lived 8 more years, died of old age at 16.

not a vet but been in the field for almost a decade. I’m glad the CBD is working well! Ask your vet about Galliprant instead of Carprofen 🥰

Librela changed my my dogs life. She went from extreme hip dysplasia at 4 crying all the time to running & jumping at 10! I tell everyone with senior dogs because it’s truly made so much of a difference in her quality of life

People acting like AGING isn’t normal, you should never put an animal down if it’s not badly suffering. LET HER LIVE 🩷🩷

We're going through the same thing! We almost put my boy down back in April. The pain meds were causing his back legs to be paralyzed. He's still walking but stiff. I never thought to try CBD

My dog just had chronic pancreatitis and so many people just said to put him down, but he was SO full of life. $1,200 and a new dog food later he is doing amazing. Please, never give up on your pet if you truly believe in your heart that it isn’t their time. If they are showing signs of life, love, and aren’t in pain please don’t give up on them!

Sometimes the best thing we can do for our fur babies is let them go instead of allowing them to suffer because we aren’t ready. Your dog isn’t well. You can tell she’s in distress.
