It should not be given to pregnant or nursing dogs or to puppies who do not yet have the correct digestive enzymes to process the drug. It may also delay labor. Important: This drug stops blood from clotting properly making it especially dangerous when given to those with internal bleeding or peptic stomach ulcers. When treating a dog with this medicine we recommend that you:.
Dangerous effects can occur when aspirin is given with other medicines that raise serum salicylate levels such as Pepto-Bismol or with other drugs that thin the blood such as warfarin. Levels this high can cause severe kidney damage and extreme blood loss which could quickly become life threatening.
You can find some of the most common overdose symptoms near the bottom of this page. Aspirin is used all over the world as a painkiller. When given to dogs it may be used to treat the following:. It can also have a positive effect on the heart. Despite its contraindication for dogs with kidney disease, aspirin has been used the past to treat glomerular disease. Avoid giving aspirin to your dog if he has stomach ulcers, due to the heightened risk of internal bleeding. If you suspect internal bleeding call the vet immediately and stop using the medicine.
Vomiting coupled with changes in levels of thirst could be a sign of kidney damage. If you have a question about why your vet recommended administering aspirin, call the office. You may have heard people say that aspirin is safe to give to dogs. This is technically true, but only if you follow the advice of a veterinarian. Adverse reactions to aspirin are relatively common in dogs, which means you need to be aware of the risks and the symptoms of an adverse reaction or overdose before giving your dog the drug.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, stop giving your dog aspirin immediately and call your vet. Any time you give your dog a new medication, you should monitor his behavior closely. Changes in appetite, activity level, urination, bowel movements, or personality could all be signs of an adverse reaction. Since aspirin is known to have more side effects than other NSAIDs like Rimadyl, keep an especially close eye on your pet while he is on aspirin.
Aspirin is not something to mess around with. Since aspirin is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration FDA , there is a lack of definitive studies evaluating the proper dosages of aspirin for dogs. You should always talk to your veterinarian before starting your dog on a drug like aspirin, as overdoses of aspirin can be fatal.
After you have confirmed the dosage with your vet, be sure to ask about what kind of aspirin to purchase.
Talk to your vet about any other medications your dog takes regularly to see if there are any potential drug interactions, and be sure to let your vet know if your dog is pregnant before administering aspirin. Carprofen is frequently used to treat osteoarthritis and is usually better tolerated by dogs than aspirin. Remember that many human drugs cause different reactions in dogs.
Baby Aspirin dosage depends on the weight of the dog. We have some information above. I have a puppy that fell. Everything that I can see and feel points to a sprained muscle and just pain and in need of a little relaxation. Can she just have baby aspirin to help her relax the muscle? She is not putting any weight on it now and we are keeping a heating pad on it at night to help it relax as well. She weighs only 6 pounds, so I know she can only have a little aspirin, but would like for her to have something that would help relax the muscle along with the heat while it heals.
The bones are fine and I can move it gently and know that she has a point that she gets to that it begins to hurt when it is stretched a too far. Heat increases inflammation, which she probably has due to the sprain. Ice would be better, time is really the best medicine. Took her to the vet.
X-rays, blood work were done. Vet prescribed an antibiotic to administer every 12 hours for one week. Very small bottle of liquid antibiotics which lasted 3 days. Did call this AM regarding small amount of antibiotics, and was told I could go pick up another bottle. No Charge! Could not believe when I was told how much charge was.
I used credit card to pay. Antibiotics have helped her very bad breath. Do not recall vet telling me why he was prescribing antibiotics.
I think my little Dachshund would like this. I have a very difficult time trying to get any medication in her. Yikes that might be high for a bull dog no? Flexpet definitely works for aches and pains, but maybe some sort of ramp would help him get in and out. How old is he? And trouble getting up the stairs. Like hauling himself up. NOW RE. First time trying. My dog is a 13 year old Labrador retriever who is suffering from arthritis in her hip.
Ive been told before that dogs can take baby asprin for an extended period of time. Is this not true or safe? If not, what is that is cheaper?
Yes long term aspirin is not the answer. You can give Flexpet a try. The price is reasonable, it should help your dog with arthritis issues and we offer a money back guarantee if it does not work for him.
I already lost a dog for hip displasia. I have now a 9 years and a 6 months old doggies, and I am giving everyday a joint supplement. I give my 12 year old terrier a Glucosamine supplement every day, can I give Flexpet in addition to this supplement? Yes, you could give Flexpet to your pet along with Cosequin. I have a small dog that has trouble getting up and down from the chair and couch I hope this helps. It is correct that Aspirin is very harmful for a cat. Flexpet is a natural supplement and is intended for cats and dogs.
Although we highlight dogs more often on this site due to the nature of our customer base, you can safely give it to your cat as well. Our dog suffers from an old hind leg injury and the older she gets,the more flare ups she has. I have a large German Boxer that we rescued several yrs ago now from being trained for dog fights. He is just over lbs and approximately 7yrs old now. He lives downstairs with our oldest daughter.
We have noticed in the last several months he is starting to show some struggling when going up and down the stairs to go outside to the rest room. I am assuming he is starting to get some arthritis. Would this be something good to try for him? If this would be beneficial, please send a sample. Yes, Flexpet is especially good for dogs with arthritis. I am interested in trying this on my dog.

You should see results in about 7 days. I have a very small dog that is getting older and harder to walk. This may help him.

We do not recommend giving your dog a baby aspirin, though we realize it can be used in the correct dosages for short term treatment. However, fidosavvy. In this case, it is not something that we are comfortable recommending. We have a 12 year old great dane.
His arthritis in his joints is awful. Would love to try this. Will it work on my 10 year old cat? I read all the comments and nothing about a cat. What would be the dosage? I would like to try a free sample but to afraid to. She weights about 15 lbs. Hi Deborah. Yes, Flexpet is for use with cats as well. Though we primarily talk about dogs, as they are more prone to some of these aging issues and therefore a larger part of our customer base is dog owners, this is certainly a product that should help your cat.
I have a 12 year old pug that has really started to get around a lot slower these days so very excited to give this sample a try to see if she will take them! Might be a great route for us to take for heranything to help! Thanks for trying a sample, Cindy.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any questions. Our vet has us give our jack Russell Benedryl for allergies. Is it safe for him to take Flexpet and Benedryl together? Great question, Cheryl! Taking Flexpet is like using an anti-inflammatory and an omega 3 fatty acid for lubrication for the joints. It has nothing to do with Benadryl that would interact with it.
Absolutely, Amanda! You can get a sample by filling out the form on the left hand side of the page. Remember, the sample is more to test the product and make sure your dog will take it.
Please let us know if you have any questions! Thank you for the free sample it nice to know you can get free stuff for your pets thank you. If she is having joint pain, this should help. This usually happens in dogs as they get older, especially larger dogs. I recommend that you try the sample to see if she would take it we know how there are times here and there where dogs can be fussy! Please let us know if you need anything else! Limps and vet said that perhaps a bit of aspirin would be helpful.
Of course, we encourage pet owners to go to their vets and follow their instruction. However, if you are giving your dog aspirin, please be very careful.
It can be helpful as a short term solution, but is not recommended for long term results. For long term help, especially the kind needed for arthritis, we recommend a natural supplement like Flexpet. Hello, I have tried several times to sample this product, so I will try once more. I have a chihuahua who is of indeterminate age, She is a shelter rescue. My vet estimates her age at about 11 or I am also looking for a more natural and safe remedy, especially since she is so small.
