My dog sneezed blood and is limping. Could aspirin be the cause?

Question

Have a 8yr old American/English bulldog mix who just sneezed blood. Every once in awhile she has a lil wheezing fit has her whole life, but lately I've noticed them increasingly more. Right b4 the blood she was doing it but longer then normal bout 5mins. Also she has been panting a lot and noticed excessive licking. She also has been having trouble with right rear leg limping and 2 the point of putting no weight at all on it. For 3 days been giving Buffered aspirin. Could this be the cause?

Aspirin can cause bleeding in dogs, and I would recommend stopping it immediately and having Zaylynne examined by a vet. Her chronic sneezing may be caused by abnormalities or a polyp in the nose or upper throat area. The vet may need to sedate her or refer her to a specialist to see what is going on to cause the sneezing and now bleeding. The leg may or may not be related, but an exam and x-rays would be the first part at working up the limping.
