(Newest replies first)

My 15 year old dog has arthritis in his hind legs. He is about 50 pounds. Can I use a 325 mg. Ascriptin to treat him or should I use one or two 81mg coated aspirin? Suggestions will be helpful. Thanks.

My vet has just recommended Ascriptin (Maalox-coated aspirin) for my dog's pain, but I cannot locate it. Is there a substitute?
Are you still using Ascriptin for your dog? If so, could you please tell me where you're getting it. Can't seem to find the specific product today.Thanks much,
First I will say that I am not a vet; however, I have a 45 pound dog that was crying out with severe lower back and leg pain last September. I took him to a vet and he prescribed the following. 3 each 50 mg Tramadol (a mild opiate) and 2 each 325 mg Ascriptin per day. The results have been miraculous for 9 months "and going". He only takes two of the Tramadol and one or two of the Ascriptin spaced out thoughout the day. No coated aspirin according to the vet. A dog can not breakdown the coating.
Well, unfortunately, this site is not medical professionals, nor are we veterinarians, this is an information only website that deals with prescription medications for human use.
What has your Vet recommended?
