Although Aspirin is used in veterinary practice for pain relief, accidental ingestion or exceeding recommended therapeutic dosages can cause intoxication in any animal. If you find, your pet has accidently ingested Aspirin or other drugs, please see your vet immediately or call the hotline below. Never give your pet medication without first consulting your vet.
Signs and symptoms of toxicity: vomiting, diarrhea, melena (dark, tarry stool), abdominal pain, pale gums, altered mental status, difficulty breathing, and dehydration. While some signs may appear within several hours of ingestion, it may take several days for other signs to appear.
If you have any reason to suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please contact your veterinarian or one of the other resources* listed:
