Dosage is by weight not age.

The recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Be safe and pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This usually works well and seems to be pretty safe. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers so use with caution.

It is not recommended to give your dog aspirin without consulting a veterinarian, as it can be harmful. Panting and difficulty breathing in dogs can be signs of various underlying health issues, such as heart problems or respiratory conditions. It's important to take your dog to the vet for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

How many hour apart should you give your 2 year old dog 500mg Tylenol?

NEVER give your dog or cat Tylenol, is very toxic to the liver & kidneys for animals. Good grief. You should take your pet to see your Veterinarian for a check up. The Vet will know what to give to your pet to properly take care of him or her. The only safe thing for a dog is regular buffered aspirin. But do take your dog in to see your Veterinarian, only your Vet will know the proper medication & dose. STOP THE TYLENOL immediately.
