Love no aspirin please

My vet told me it was okay to give my little 3 lb teacup yorkie a 1/4 of an aspirin for his teething pain but a few months later he began bleeding internally and was rushed to the hospital because he went into a seizure. He was hospitalized for a week and they said the bleeding was caused by the aspirin. They also said he has a liver problem which isn't good...I really didn't see much relief from the aspirin so if you can skip it please do...I found freezing chamomile tea into ice cubes helped or freezing a wet washcloth for him to chew on also helped. Although they can't connect the liver problems to the aspirin and it is most likely something he was born with but the internal bleeding set off the whole chain of events. The sad part is that he still has all his baby teeth along with the adult ones which are killing him but he is too weak to undergo surgery to have them removed. So the only thing I can suggest is to take your lil one to the vet because throwing up in these little guys needs to be check out ASAP. Theo only threw up a few times before he went into a seizure and thank God we got him to the hospital in time to save him. I will say a prayer that your little one is okay and hopefully his teeth will come out...
