GizmoRedNosePit Posted August 14, 2002 Author Posted August 14, 2002 * Buffered Aspirin is probably the best choice for initial medical treatment. It is a safe and useful drug, although prolonged use can cause problems. But, for occasional use, aspirin is perfectly ok. A large (60 to 70 lb.) dog would get Quote

Please help Actually you want triple buffered or Ascriptin (aspirin and maalox mixed in it) and you don't want to do it too long and discontinue immediately if she goes off her food. She ought to get it with food too. Problem is dogs stomachs are pretty acid to begin with and the aspirin can give them ulcers if you are not careful. It also can cause bleeding problems if too high a dose is given for too long. Quote
