What does your dog weigh? 130 pounds or so? I would think she could have 2 a day - AM and PM, but I'd check with the vet to be sure. Give them with food. I don't believe in *just is* limps. She's not that old is she? I take it they did X-rays, etc. Are her elbows OK? Weren't you trying to get pills down her for something before? Any chance she has a tick borne disease? buglady take out the dog before replying |

I had a 60 lb husky mix who took 2 aspirin a day for arthritis for a couple
of years before we switched him to prescription pain medication. Judging the difference in weight I'd guess you could give her two a day without any problems but you really need ask your vet. Any time you give a dog pain medication you have to watch for throwing up, blood in the stools and if they stop eating or won't eat like they did. If you notice any of them stop the medication immediately and get the dog to the vet ASAP since these could be signs of internal bleeding. Celeste "Gary G" wrote in message ...
