Is it ok to give a teething puppy baby aspirin?

I just feel so bad for him, his gums are all red and his teeth are falling out... poor guy just isn't himself lately.

He's five months old.

Should he just tough it out or can I make him more comfortable? I froze some washcloths for him to chew but he doesn't seem interested.

He is too little and asprin will upset his stomach. They need lots of stuff to chew
on to help the skin to remove from the incoming tooth. Lots of rubber toys.
Some can be frozen and that helps too. This is the time that not one item
laying in reach is safe from being chewed on, so keep your stuff up and
out of the way. :wink:

Thanks for the tips... here are some pics of poor Jesse's sore little teeth:

Ouch!

Check out this molar that came in seemingly overnight! Neo says it looks like he's chewing on marshmallows!

As an update, we took Jesse to the vet this morning because one of his eyes was runny and goopy. Turns out he has pink eye. But anyways, the vet looked at his teeth and said it was all normal and we should just provide him with lots of stuff to chew on.

Poor guy, guess he's just gonna have to wait it out.
