Hello!
I understand you're concerned about managing your dog's pain, and it's great that you're reaching out for guidance. Aspirin and Carprofen both work to relieve pain and inflammation in dogs, but they can cause issues if given too closely together. Ideally, you should wait at least 24 to 48 hours after giving aspirin before starting Carprofen. This gap helps to prevent any adverse effects on your dog's gastrointestinal system, which could lead to symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.
While you're waiting, you can offer some at-home comfort. Make sure your dog has a cozy and quiet spot to rest. Encourage gentle activity rather than vigorous play to prevent further pain.
It's crucial to watch out for any serious signs such as a lack of appetite, ongoing vomiting, blood in the stool, or lethargy. These could indicate a reaction to the aspirin and require immediate veterinary attention.
For personalized advice tailored to your dog's specific health needs, I recommend booking a video consult with our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. We're here to help ensure your furry friend's health and comfort.
Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
