I'm not a vet, but this sounds like a very bad idea to me. If there's any internal bleeding, the aspirin could make it much worse and possibly kill the poor dear.
My advice would be to monitor for any signs of discolouration, swelling, or limping. Skin discolouration or any swelling means you need to get to a vet right away. Limping that lasts more than an hour or so would also indicate medical attention is needed. Other than that you should be fine. Watch for any loss of appetite though. These animals can be real troopers, hiding even severe pain so as not to look weak. An appetite loss could be your only sign of severe pain due to to a non-obvious injury requiring medical attention.

Why shouldn't you take aspirin with an empty stomach?
Aspirin, like any other pill, will irritate your stomach.
When you eat foods, they churn in your stomach and turn into harmless acids that dissolve more foods and digested things, until excreted. So, when you eat something before taking an Aspirin, there are more acids inside your stomach to help dissolve the Aspirin, reducing the irritation that it can have on your stomach and stomach lining.
If you don't eat before taking an Aspirin, you may get some stomach irritation, followed by a stomach ache, but it shouldn't be too severe. But, I would recommend having at least a small snack before taking one, or any other pill, for that matter

In general, yes you can as they possess different mechanisms of action. Both hydrocodone (in Vicodin) and ibuprofen (Motrin) can be upsetting to the stomach, however. This is acceptable for short term use, however neither is meant to be taken chronically alone or together unless directed by a physician. Also, if you do decide to take these together, please run it by your doctor and/or pharmacist as this combination or one of the two may not be appropriate for all patients.
