  • Title: Aspirin dosages for the dog.
    Author: Yeary RA, Brant RJ.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1975 Jul 01; 167(1):63-4. PubMed ID: 1150495.
    Abstract:
    Aspirin dosages calculated from published pharmacokinetic data were tested in 3 male and 3 female Basset Hounds. Emesis occurred frequently after dosing at the rate of 50 mg/kg of body weight, a dosage that would be required for a convenient 12-hour dosing interval. A dosage of 25 mg/kg every 12 hours avoided emesis but did not maintain serum salicylate concentrations within the desired range of 10 to 30 mg/100 ml. A dosage of 25 mg/kg every 8 hours resulted in serum salicylate concentrations varying from 12.5 to 17.8 mg/100 ml. It was concluded that a maintenance dosage of 25 to 35 mg/kg every 8 hours in optimal for the dog, based on extrapolation of data obtained in man.
