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.

Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets. This helps to prevent a thrombus from forming and reduces the risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Is 1 chewable baby aspirin okay for a 110 pound weimeramer ok for a sore leg?
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs, and 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) once every other day for cats. A baby aspirin is usually 81mg. That would be too low. Starting at the low end, a dose of 550 would be safe. If that doesn't seem to work, try 7.5 mg per lb. Always give with food and do NOT use the enteric coated aspirin. The coating is undigestible by dogs. Good luck. (If the leg doesn't get better, see a vet.)

Can you take percocet and 81 mg aspirin?
Low dose aspirin is given to maintain normal blood clotting and therefore protect against problems like a heart attack in people at risk. (Heart attack is caused by blockage of the arteries in your heart by a blood clot). If you have high blood pressure and your doctor thinks you might have an extra risk she will recommend you take low-dose aspirin. However it is important to understand that it is not a treatment for high blood pressure - it is to reduce your cardiovascular risk.
