Apparently Xylitol can be rather toxic for dogs, and it is making it's way into veterinary medicines...
"Some commercially prepared versions of liquid gabapentin have xylitol in them — and it was one of these very versions my pharmacist was offering. The same drug I was offering my patient might have killed her had I not known about the change!" — Dr. Patty Khuly
Please be aware of what is in your pet's medication! Read Dr. Khuly's Fully Vetted post for complete details:

WOW! Thanks for the heads up Mr. Admin! I have used Gabapentin on Maggie but it wasn't the liquid form.
