The recommended dosage for aspirin for dogs is 10mgs/per lb of body weight no more than every 12 hours. Always follow the recommendations of your Vet. and always give the minimum amount. Be very careful reading the dose size of the aspirin you use and err on the side of caution.
The dose is actually 10 mg per kilogram of body weight. That's 4.5 mg per pound. Dogs should not receive aspirin more than once in 12 hours. Cats should never be given aspirin more than once in 48 hours. This medication is even more likely to cause stomach ulcers in these patients than it is in humans, therefore, so only be used for a very short time and when unable to reach veterinary help. Ulcers can perforate and cause death. Be very careful. There really aren't any "safe" over-the-counter pain medications for dogs and cats.

Can you take excedrin and soma?
Possibly.Excedrin (Extra Strength and Migraine) contains three ingredients: acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin (an NSAID), and caffeine.Soma (carisoprodol) is a medication used as a muscle relaxant. Soma also comes in a preparation where it contains carisoprodol with aspirin, or carisoprodol with aspirin and codeine.Combining Excedrin with Soma only should be safe. However, combining Excedrin (250mg of aspirin per tablet, 500mg of aspirin per dose) with the Soma compound containing aspirin (325mg of aspirin per tablet) may mean you are getting more aspirin in a single dose than is considered safe.
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.)

Dose of baby aspirin for dog 50 pounds?
A fifty pound dog should be okay with one regular asprin. those are 325 mg. one in the morning and one at night. With food. If he won't eat then get the coated ones because it's easier on the stomach. I got this from a vet website http://www.vetinfo.com/daspirin.html Aspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.

Well It Depends What It Is!
What dosage of aspirin to give a corgi cross terrier?
Aspirin should only be given to dogs under the guidance of a veterinarian, as the appropriate dosage varies based on the dog's weight and health condition. Generally, the safe dosage for dogs is about 5-10 mg per kilogram of body weight every 12 hours, but this can vary. It's crucial to consult your vet before administering aspirin to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your corgi cross terrier. Always monitor for any adverse reactions after giving medication.
Can you give baby aspirin to a Jack Russell Terrier?
Yes, but they can overdose easily and it does build up in their system quickly. Try one baby or low dose aspirin for medium to moderate pain relief in dogs over 50lbs. Small dogs need much less and consult a vet ASAP to get approved canine pain relief. See related links below. Yes, dogs can safely take aspirin for pain. It is especially effective for joint pain, since it's an anti inflammatory, as well as a pain med. The standard dose of aspirin for dogs is 10 - 35 mg per kg of body weight. For example, if your dog weighs 45 pounds, then its weight is approximately 15 kg. Therefore, the dosage for your dog would be 150 - 350 mg. A regular aspirin tablet is 325 mg so it could be given 1 aspirin every 8 - 12 hours. That would be the maximum dosage that the dog could be given, though it's better to first start out with the lowest dosage, and then work up if needed until you reach the lowest effective dose. Also, be sure to give the aspirin with food to help avoid stomach upset. Another note: if your dog has never taken aspirin, watch it closely after giving it the first dose to be sure there is no allergic reaction. Dogs, just as humans do, can experience serious allergic reactions to some meds.

1st Answer: Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and cats -- their livers cannot process it. The dosage is NONE. 2nd Incorrect Answer: Ibuprofen can be toxic to dogs and cats in very low doses. Yes their livers can process it. The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg/lb every 12 hours. Now the dosage has a very small safe window so there are much better choices. It is only a choice if you have no access to a vet in the short term. 3rd Answer: NO Ibuprofen should NEVER be used with dogs or cats. You can use buffered aspirin instead. The dog should be taken to a Veterinarian to be checked out. The Vet can then recommend the appropiate medication. Ibuprofen is never a CHOICE for dogs or cats.
HOW MUCH BENEDRYL DO I GIVE MY 15 POUND DOG FOR A WASP STING?
If you're giving your dog Benadryl, its highly recommended that you purchase a 100% pure formulation designed to be safe for dogs (and cats). NOT the human version of the medicine which contains other ingredients that are BAD for dogs. The usual dose of Benadryl for dogs (adult) is 2 to 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, which corresponds to a dose of 0.9 to 1.8 milligrams per pound of body weight. However to be safe, dog owners should consult their veterinarians for specific dosing instructions for their animals.
