I crushed some up like baby powder and mixed it in with some soft food and my dog seemed to be just fine.

That is how I give my dog aspirin. He weighs 66lbs, so his dose is 330mg. (5-10mg per pound).

No aspirin can kill a dog.

*****Correction******

A therapeutic dose of aspirin will NOT kill a dog. Where do you get this misinformation? And why do you feel the need to spread it?

A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs. Always take with food.

Dogs can not have muscle relaxers if you give them muscle relaxers Cats can't either If you do take them to the Nearest vet

Dogs should not be given any human-intended drugs or medicinal substances. Please consult a trained veterinarian for suitable medications.

If you have experience with positive results and/or are trained, you could try a gentle massage. However, you should be careful with that.

Dogs should not be given medicine that is meant for humans. Veterinarians can prescribe a muscle relaxer that is meant for a dog to take.

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.

Can you give a dog aspriin?

Yes, but check with your veterinarian first to determine how much to give, or if aspirin is appropriate. Do not give your dog aspirin meant for humans. Specially prepared aspirin for dogs is available in pet stores. Coated aspirin may be acceptable, but check with your vet first. Your vet may also be able to prescribe other painkillers that are more effective for dogs. Do not give aspirin to your dog if it is taking any sort of n-said medication. See your vet for details.

No Never give Advil to a dog or cat. It is dangerous. You need to check with your Veterinarian as to why you wish to give Advil to your pet that is already taking pheno.

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.

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.
