My soul dog passed 10/6 after developing a minor hind leg limp she was given caroprofen , trazadone and gabapentin. gabapentin is on the recall list I don’t know if this is coincidence but I for sure initially thought the caroprofen ( rimadyl ) highly contributed to her death I was given no instructions or warnings of these drugs.
