1 Gout may lead to inflammation of the fluid sacs (bursae) that cushion tissues, particularly in the elbow (olecranon bursitis) and knee (prepatellar bursitis). 2  Gout can also affect the joints of the feet, ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows.  Symptoms may occur after an illness or surgery.
Aspirin dosage for dogs. According to fidosavvy.com, the recommended dosage for dogs taking human aspirin is between 5mg and 10mg per pound of body weight, given twice a day (once every 12 hours). Itâs helpful to know that a standard adult size is 320 mg and a baby size is 80mg. If your dog weighs 40 lbs, the recommended dosage for him would be 200 mg, or 2.5 baby aspirin. Anything over 30mg per pound is considered toxic. Getting the dosage correct is imperative, especially when treating small dogs.
Dogs should only be given aspirin when they really need it, and not every time they are feeling slightly ill. Pet owners should administer aspirin with extreme caution, because large doses of aspirin can prove to be toxic for a dog. Smaller breeds of dogs especially are more prone to overdosing on aspirin. Always give your dog aspirin with food, and never on an empty stomach.
