You can safely give aspirin to a dog. Perhaps you can do an online search to see what dosage by weight you should give her.

Yes, I give Herc St. Joseph's baby aspirin (sparingly) when he has eaten some of the skin of his pads. (Drives me crazy--but he has allergies.)

Poor Hershie! Stupid dog my fanny! Tell DH that tires are like feet to a car. So, he did pay for tires....just doggie tires! At least he regretted not getting her treats.

Yikes Herck..Milie has allergies too. Fortunately they go away when it gets cold. Must be something in the grass but I also give her baby aspirin when she's chewed herself raw somewhere. Grace - DH would never come between me and my dogs or my cat. He knows he'd lose and the longest I'd ever leave them in his care is 2 days!! He likes the dogs but doesn't care for them the way mama does. Hershie is beautiful!!! I hope he's feeling better soon.

Grace, Motrin is not aspirin. I have read that some of the other OTC pain relievers are not tolerated by dogs. I'd keep to aspirin if it was me.

Grace, Hershie is such a handsome dog! I hope he feels better soon. I know how much I love Rocky that when they are not well you want to give them lots of TLC till their better. And I am glad you still have him!

awww Brutus is so cute . . . Hershie is doing ok. . .HP thanks for all the warnings, I did a bunch of checking around on the net too and then went out to buy baby asprin. . .I saw that you can't give dogs motrim, ibuprofen or anything else other than asprin. She must still be in pain, I gotta call the vet. . .now she's hopping around. I can't tell if it's becuase she wants to imitate our close friend's 3 legged Great Dane or if she really is in pain - she's not wincing or whining. . .

too bad they just told me to bring her in again. . . because she hasn't had a bm since this all started on Tuesday and because of the limping. . .they're talking about possible xrays!!!

ok. . .so how about this. . . I wasn't able to take Hershie into the vet today because I can only have one person be sick at a time and DH was down, DS had a fever and I'm not that great either. . . soooooo poor furbaby got put off. Plus, they basically told us, come when you can but we don't have any openings so you'll be sitting here for a long time or you can come tomorrow afternoon. So guess what we just did. . . DH and I just pinned her down and took off the bandage. Man was there a lot of puss. . .after we cleaned it up, we used new clean and sterile pads/guaze and redid it. Do you think that's bad? If we are going to have to wait, I thought I'd get the junk away from her for now. . .plus I put fresh triple antibiotic ointment on the wound. . .was that a bad move?

Yikes Grace. Is Hershie on any antibiotics? Poor you, poor her... Hope they can take her today. Keep us posted. I think you'd have to ask the vet if that was a bad move, but I wouln't think so...

Okay, so now every time I see a terrier type dog, I automatically call it a HercklePerckle. I will say to Bigdog, "you know, those people we always see with the Herckleperckle dog."

What is a Dog? 1. Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house. 2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room. 3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time. 4. They growl when they are not happy. 5. When you want to play, they want to play. 6. When you want to be alone, they want to play. 7. They leave their toys everywhere. 8. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss. 9. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you. CONCLUSION: They're tiny men in little fur coats.
