My dog is vomiting blood after aspirin. Should I take her to the vet?

Sorry to hear that Jack isn't acting like himself. Baby aspirin over the course of few days, while not the most preferably of pain relievers in dogs, is not likely to cause significant ailments. Inappetence and vomiting however are some of the side effects caused by the drug, however, and might be to blame in this instance. They can cause gastric ulceration, though this usually occurs in larger quantities or with overdose. If he hasn't been drinking his water for just tonight, I wouldn't begin to panic just yet. If he continues not to drink for another 12 hours and/or vomits with greater strength or frequency, get him into a veterinarian for a diagnostic work up and/or treatment plan to get him feeling better. Be sure you tell your vet the exact point of time he last received an aspirin so that he knows if it is safe to prescribe other types of anti-inflammatory drugs without the risk of cross-reactivity. If Jack struggles with arthritis, he may benefit from having an anti-inflammatory available to him on days when he struggles the most - this would be a discussion for you and your vet to have. I would also encourage you to consider starting him on a supplement that contains fatty acids and glucosamine chondroitin. Hope this makes sense.

Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. Unfortunately, I think aspirin is not going to help your dog at this time and since aspirin can cause coagulation problems it may actually make her bleed more. She may have a uterine or vaginal infection, especially since she is not eating.

Poor Lady! Eating tissue paper should not normally cause any significant issues unless she ate a very large amount, so this is probably not related. Vomiting blood is always a very serious concern, so I would recommend taking Lady to the vet right away for an exam. She may have internal bleeding due to a stomach ulcer or foreign body, a GI illness such as pancreatitis or HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis), or may have gotten into something toxic. Your vet can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment right away.

I it may be a reaction to the medication or there could have been something else alreadybtherr that just didn’t show it self yet such as an infection. If you are displeased with your vet then you can seek a second opinion but i would give the vet a call or schedule a recheck to see if they want to change medications or do blood work to address the vomiting now. Since there is blood in the vomit I would recommend getting him rechecked to make sure it does not continue and he doesn’t get dehydrated from it

I would seek veterinary care ASAP if the diarrhea has been ongoing for more than 24 hours to rule out any more serious issues caused by the ingestion of the aspirin. Until you can get to your vet, feeding a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice may help with the digestive upset and reduce diarrhea symptoms. However, if the diarrhea continues, veterinary care is needed.

Aspirin can cause bleeding in dogs, and I would recommend stopping it immediately and having Zaylynne examined by a vet. Her chronic sneezing may be caused by abnormalities or a polyp in the nose or upper throat area. The vet may need to sedate her or refer her to a specialist to see what is going on to cause the sneezing and now bleeding. The leg may or may not be related, but an exam and x-rays would be the first part at working up the limping.

I would continue at the dose of 1 tablet every 12 hours and taper off as prescribed by your vet. This medication may not be the cause of the vomiting, though, and if it continues tomorrow I would take Patsy to the vet for a recheck. Sometimes vomiting can cause irritation to the esophagus and you may see a tiny amount of blood. However, if she continues vomiting and the amount of blood seems like it is getting bigger, she should see a vet immediately. You might take her food away for 12 hours to help with nausea, though she should be encouraged to drink water or pedialyte.
