Why is my pit bull shaking after taking aspirin for a limp?

Question

My pit bull has been limping for 3 days and I gave him a bayer and now he's shaking. What should I do. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 85 lbs

I assume you mean Bayer aspirin. Aspirin is not recommended for use in dogs and will cause stomach ulcers, and in overdose situations will cause kidney failure. I suspect he may be shaking because either he is in pain from the cause of the limp, or he may have an upset stomach from the aspirin. Offer a bland diet tonight (chicken and rice), and monitor him for vomiting. Offer small amounts of water frequently. Please try to take him to your vet as soon as you can tomorrow or the next day to thoroughly evaluate him. If he is becoming quite lethargic or is vomiting, please seek emergency care for him.
