Is It Ok To Give My 7 Month Old Yorkie A 1/2 Of Baby Aspirin?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Do not give your pup aspirin. Quote: Aspirin-the quickest fix for discomfort found in your own medicine cabinet-may be highly toxic to a dog. Aspirin toxicity can cause life-threatening, long-term complications and even death, especially in young or small dogs. But, with the right dose, aspirin can be a very helpful medicine for your dog. Following a proper dosage schedule is critical; never give your dog over the counter aspirin without first consulting your vet. www.vetinfo.com

      The vet had me give my 10 pound shitzu a 1/2 of a baby tylenol for pain. But you should call your vet first

        You need to call your vet. They can probably tell you over the phone whether or not you can do it and of so how much (you still need to watch for toxicity) for your pup specifically since they know your pup and all the factors. All those things like that are toxic to dogs and are prescribed very carefully taking everything into consideration so it needs to be the exact dosage and it needs to be for an appropriate reason.  If your pup has luxating patella's (slipping kneecaps) or something then it's really nothing but a health risk so it's important to know why you think it might be necessary. Things like that aren't generally prescribed to very young dogs. I would also worry because liver shunts are so common in them nowadays and even the tiniest amount of something like that could cause death if there is one which isn't yet diagnosed.
