min-pin joint injury; baby aspirin canine dosage;

Question
I have a five month old min-pin who appears to have sprained her ankle. The weather is very bad here and I am unable to take her to the vet. Is it ok to give her baby tylenol or baby aspirin for the pain until the roads clear and I can get her to the vet.

Answer
Hi Dianna, NO Tylenol --never...  Most Vets will allow a 81 mg baby aspirin.
BE safe!  Try to keep her crated with only leash walking.  That will allow the area to start healing.

Good luck!
