It is not a good idea to give a dog a baby aspirin if he has an enlarged heart unless you have spoken with your dogs veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to give the correct dosage amount for your dog.
NO!!! Only use coated baby aspirin, one tablet only!!!:D
81mg is the common dosage for "baby" aspirin
NO you would kill it if the puppys having teeth pain give it a bone or something to chew on its just teething and if you dont get anything for it to chew on say good bye to your shoes! ---------------------------------------------- Actually Puppies don't start teething for 6 months, By that time it is perfectly safe to give them 1 or a 1/2 a baby aspirin depending on their size.
How much you give of either buffered adult aspirin or baby aspirins depends on the weight of your dog: A dog that weighs 8 lbs, would get 1/2 baby aspirin or less. A dog weighing 16 lbs, would get 1 baby aspirin. A dog weighing 32 lbs, would get 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 2 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 48 lbs, would get 3/4 buffered adult aspirin or 3 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 64 lbs, would get 1 buffered adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 80 lbs, would get 1 1/4 buffered adult aspirin or 5 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 96 lbs, would get 1 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 6 baby aspirins. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers in dogs, just as in humans. You should pay attention to your dog's eating habits when you have been giving it aspirin to watch for signs of an upset stomach (such as not wanting to eat, or vomiting) and stop giving the aspirin. To minimize stomach problems, always give food with the aspirin.
Baby aspiring can be given to dogs every 8 to 12 hours. Do not give your dog baby aspirin without consulting your veterinarian.
Aspirin and Tylenol are unrelated. You can take the full recommended dose of Tylenol (acetominophen) if you are taking a baby aspirin.
Yes, you can. Baby aspirin is the same as regular aspirin, just 1/4 of the regular amount (81mg instead of 330 mg). Since aspirin causes stomach bleeding, it is advisable to only take small amounts of it. 1-2 pills of baby aspirin usually works fine for me.
81mg baby aspirin T PO QD means to take one 81mg tablet of baby aspirin by mouth every day.
No, Lorcet in addition to hydrocodone has Tylenol as another component. Tylenol should never be given to dogs because of the risk of liver toxicity. Aspirin is the only drug to be safely given. It is based on the dog's weight. If the dog is small<8lbs- then 1/2 of a baby aspirin. If it is large (approx 60lbs) then 1 adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirin. Check with your vet first
Be very careful with aspirin - it can be toxic to dogs. Never give it to a cat.It can be toxic if given in high doses of about 30 mg (milligram) per pound of the dog. This means that even a baby aspirin could be poisonous for dogs weighing two pounds or less. An adult aspirin, which is 320 mg, would be toxic for a 10-pound dog. So even 1/2 an aspirin to too much for a 5-lb dog. and they'll live without it - don't do it.
No - dogs should never be given human pain medications (Tylenol, aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, etc.). Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects, which can be fatal. If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you will need to make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. There are safe pain medications available for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to get them.
