Will a 81 mg of aspirin hurt my dalmation's leg joint(old injury). He is 8 years old. Seem's to help him

Question:

Answers:
I had a 13yr old Rot/Chow mix and I gave him aspirin to help with his pain from arthritis.
As he aged over the months and his arthritis seemed to get worse I decided to have him put to sleep.
Just prior to this event I spent our final days together,loving on him and holding his little muggy/slobbery wet face and as he panted I could smell the odor of old blood.
I think that the aspirin I was giving him( one tablet every other day and sometimes every 2-3 days ) caused stomach bleeding.
Because the dog had clearly out lived his years as dogs this large rarely live past the age of 8-9 I saw no reason to do an autopsy on a 13 1/2 yr old dog after he was put to sleep but I would almost guarantee you that he had stomach bleeding caused by the aspiring which is a side effect of aspirin.
Go see a vet and get some Rymadel. Pain med specifically made for dogs with arthritis which is what is causing your dog his pain.

Many people take 100mg of aspirin regularly for the blood. It can contribute to nose bleeds and cuts not healing as quickly. So monitor your pooch closely for any cuts or irregular bleeding.
