She slept weirdly during the first half of the journey, she didn't get in the right position and wouldn't let me move her into a better position. I had given her the gabepentin about 45 minutes before we left. Once we got onto the big highways, she seemed okay, she was sleeping on and off.
However, when we got to the rest stop and I got her out of the truck, she was really wobbly on her feet and seemed a little confused about where we were and what we were doing. After about five minutes of sniffing, she suddenly lost control of her back legs and seemed unable to keep herself up. It was like she forgot she had back legs and was walking really oddly with her butt really close to the ground. It was really upsetting. Given that she had been walking mostly normally that morning, I figured it was the drugs and got her back in the truck. This time she cooperated and let me arrange her better, so she was laying mostly on her side. Got her water and a snack.
I zipped to the bathroom and we hit the road again. Thankfully there wasn't really any traffic and I made it here a tiny bit earlier than expected. I got her out of the truck and she seemed much improved from the rest stop, she only sat down once wandering around the yard.
By our evening walk, she was back to normal. So the conclusion is no more gabepentin holy crap.
