| I'm not sure of the answer to that regarding dosage, and I would hate to do anything to harm your baby. I hope Buttons feels better very soon. I know that, if aspirin is given, it must be buffered aspirin, which has something in it to protect the stomach. The buffer is similar to what Tums does.

| If you just call your vet, I'm sure they can quickly answer you with if it is ok and how much to give.

| I would talk to your vet. My vet said that vets are backing off of telling people to give aspirin to there dogs because of problems with internal bleeding and stuff.
