1/4th of a baby aspirin every 72 hours is ok. But, ask your veterinarian before you do this. You can call any veterinarian clinic to get an answer and someone should be able to answer your question over the phone about this subject.

∙ 12y agoYes, you can give baby aspirin to a cat but ONLY 1/4 of one tablet and ONLY once every 72 hours. The baby aspirin should be given with food.
Be very careful, if you are unsure then you should ask a vet before giving your cat anything.

Cat metabolism is very different from humans; drugs like aspirin that are innocuous to humans will kill a cat (there is a metabolic pathway in cats that turns aspirin into cyanide), and morphine, which makes humans sleepy, will make a cat hyper.

Can give a dog asaprin?
Although you should always check with your Veterinarian before giving your pet any over-the-counter human medication, in a pinch you can give your dog (NOT cat) enteric coated BABY aspirin for minor aches and pains. Smaller dogs should only be given half a baby aspirin. Enteric coated aspirin is easier on the stomach. Some dogs may have a negative reaction to aspirin but it usually just entails an upset stomach. The easiest way to administer it is in a piece of cheese or meat. Always provide plenty of water. NEVER give Tylenol or acetaminophen to dogs or cats and don't give aspirin to cats. Never self administer for more than a few days. If your pet gets worse, is in extreme distress and/or pain, is having trouble walking or standing or is having trouble breathing do NOT give them anything - get them to the Veterinarian immediately.
Can you give dog aspirin with amoxicillin?
I'd check with your vet first, aspirin can upset the stomach, not all antbiotics will agree with pets, if your vet gave you the amoxicillin did they mention to give aspirin also? Aspirin not recommended by your vet can be fatal to your dog. Never ever give aspirin made for human consumption to your dogs.
