How many baby aspiring instead of regular aspirin?
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.

Why is there such a thing as baby aspirin when babies cannot take it due to the risk of Reye's syndrome?
I have not seen baby aspirin marketed for years. Baby aspirin was available before the association with Reye's syndrome was established, but since then has apparently been removed from the market. There is still a chewable 81mg aspirin available, probably for low dose heart attack prevention. Furthermore, aspirin may still be necessary for treating some childhood illnesses, but under a doctor's order.
Is low dose aspirin the same as baby aspirin?
81mg is the common dosage for "baby" aspirin
How many baby aspirins to take in the event of a heart attack?
THE AMOUNT OF ASPIRIN that is prescibed for prevention of heart attack is ususally around 80 mg. So however many of your baby aspirins equal the closest to 80 mg is how many that should be taken. One brand of aspirin makes a special aspirin for just that purpose. I believe it is a tablet that is 83 mg. Everytime one takes an aspirin it can cause some stomach bleeding that can get worse in time. Doctors are beginning to back-off of this theory of just anyone taking aspirin. If someone does have a heart condition then this is cause for at least aspirin, but, some doctors feel healthy people shouldn't take aspirin. Most of us get arthritis when we get older and some of the medications can be tough on the stomach and liver, so if you've been taking aspirin all those years when you didn't have too you could well be dealing with bad stomach problems in the future. Discuss aspirin and heart with a Cardiologist. My husband's Cardiologist said healthy people didn't need it, and my husband is on other medications for his Atrial Fibrillation.
Is it OK to give your dog 0.4 ml of aspirin?
Yes, yes it is. How much aspirin a dog can have depends on it's size and weight! If you are doubt about how much aspirin to give your dog, call your vet's office and ask them. Regular strength buffered or baby aspirins should be used, not "safety coated" aspirin. Always give aspirin with food, to help avoid an upset stomach. If the dog starts to vomit, stop giving it aspirin. Aspirin has blood thinning properties, so it can be dangerous in some dogs. For long term pain relief there are safer veterinary-specific alternatives.

Can you substitute baby aspirin for real 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.
