Hi, sorry to hear that Brownie is not well. I would recommend to have him checked over. From the symptoms you describe he could have abdominal pain. Was the baby aspirin prescribed by your vet ? I would discontinue it for the time being, because if Brownie has got abdominal pain it could worsen because of the medications ingested.
