Yes, we used to give some to our Roti after she had surgery to repair a ligament in her leg. We gave her 1 twice a day for a couple of weeks (hid it inside a piece of wiener as she hated taking pills) Since it helped out Roti we also gave some to our german Shepherd after she had a run in with a porcupine and we had to remove the quills.

One time I thought that I read that standard human for drug companies formulation was 150 lbs. So, one aspirin every six hours might be a little light, but might do the job. Please check with your vet.

Yes, the Vet had me give my elderly Doberman a buffered Aspirin. It seemed to help the poor darling. If I remember correctly, she got one in the morning and one at night before bed time. She had a thick foam pad covered with sheep skin that she slept on, and loved it. Wouldn't allow any other dog or cat on her bed.

Long term use of Aspirin is discuraged because it's hard on the stomach lining. I have very small dogs and one had pulled a back muscle. My vet suggest baby aspirin twice a day but for no more then two weeks and to give it to him with food.
