Answer
buffered aspirin , if in UK contact eurobichons@aol.com we have proper doggy ones for sale.
Its possible to give robitussin baby cough mix or ecinacea for coughs .

I would also start to give some ecinacea as a preventative to KC.
Small tracheas are a problem in bichons get this checked out, also watch out for reverse sneezing which sounds like the dog is hacking something up.
