Aspirin can cause digestive bleeding and ulcers in pets, just as it can in humans. If possible, give your dog buffered aspirin to protect its stomach. You should also give aspirin with meals and not on an empty stomach. If your dog stops eating while taking aspirin, appears weak or dizzy, throws up his food or has diarrhea, do not give it any more aspirin and take it to the vet as soon as possible. Also, since aspirin can interfere with blood clotting, do not give it to a dog that is suffering from deep cuts or gashes, or is recovering from surgery. For pain relief after surgery or for long-term pain relief for chronic pain conditions, take your dog to the vet to get appropriate pain medications. If you are giving your dog human aspirin, make sure that it does not contain other human pain relievers or caffeine, as these are extremely poisonous to dogs.
