A cat's body is much different than a dog or person. The smallest amount of a drug will stay in their bodies for a long time and they can easily overdose. It is not safe to give your cats any drugs, without talking to a veterinarian. I took my cat to the vet a couple of weeks ago, because she seemed to be having some pain in her hips (she's old) and I specifically asked if we could give her aspirin or tylenol. She said NO.

Can give a dog asaprin?
Although you should always check with your Veterinarian before giving your pet any over-the-counter human medication, in a pinch you can give your dog (NOT cat) enteric coated BABY aspirin for minor aches and pains. Smaller dogs should only be given half a baby aspirin. Enteric coated aspirin is easier on the stomach. Some dogs may have a negative reaction to aspirin but it usually just entails an upset stomach. The easiest way to administer it is in a piece of cheese or meat. Always provide plenty of water. NEVER give Tylenol or acetaminophen to dogs or cats and don't give aspirin to cats. Never self administer for more than a few days. If your pet gets worse, is in extreme distress and/or pain, is having trouble walking or standing or is having trouble breathing do NOT give them anything - get them to the Veterinarian immediately.

How much you give of either buffered adult aspirin or baby aspirins depends on the weight of your dog: A dog that weighs 8 lbs, would get 1/2 baby aspirin or less. A dog weighing 16 lbs, would get 1 baby aspirin. A dog weighing 32 lbs, would get 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 2 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 48 lbs, would get 3/4 buffered adult aspirin or 3 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 64 lbs, would get 1 buffered adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 80 lbs, would get 1 1/4 buffered adult aspirin or 5 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 96 lbs, would get 1 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 6 baby aspirins. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers in dogs, just as in humans. You should pay attention to your dog's eating habits when you have been giving it aspirin to watch for signs of an upset stomach (such as not wanting to eat, or vomiting) and stop giving the aspirin. To minimize stomach problems, always give food with the aspirin.
