When your cat has a headache, can he reach for the aspirin? According to Vet Info, it is possible to give cats aspirin in very low doses. It is recommended that 10mg/lb of body weight or one of the 81mg adult chewable aspirin tablets be given, whichever is less medication.
Aspirin stays in a cat’s system for 72 hours though, so dose infrequently. Too much aspirin can be toxic, as can any amount of Acetaminophen, so skip the Tylenol and Excedrin. And, as with every medication, make sure you talk to your vet first.
