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.)

Be very careful with aspirin - it can be toxic to dogs. Never give it to a cat.It can be toxic if given in high doses of about 30 mg (milligram) per pound of the dog. This means that even a baby aspirin could be poisonous for dogs weighing two pounds or less. An adult aspirin, which is 320 mg, would be toxic for a 10-pound dog.
