KINDLY ADVISE THE FOLLOWING

 

Is he on any other Medication

How long ago was the ASPRIN given?

The Maximum alowable dosing for Asprin is 25mg/kg meaning the 325mg would be the upper limit for a 13kg (30lb) dog

Asprin causes Gastric ulceration and may be a good idea to watch for blood in vomit, anorexia and/or lathergy if this happens rus to nearest vet. If its been less that 12 hours you could give activated charcoal to try and reduce gastric damage
