How much aspirin is recommended for a 62 lb bully?

Ozzy's been limping. I gave him an aspirin last night and he seemed better today. How much can I give him?

 

Thanks tons!

Can you check with the vet.

I hope he feels better soon.  I would also use Buffrin so it doesn't upset his tummy.

with other issues. I'm sure when they see my name they think "oh no not her again" :)

1 buffered aspirin a day.....

is what my vet tells me.  I have done this for Friday (21 lbs), Cain (52 lbs) and Zoey (62 lbs).  Zoey was on it for a week once when she jumped off the bed and strained her leg....
