Transfusion of seven un its of whole blood was required to stabilize the patient. Diagnostic e valuation failed to reveal an underlying disease state that could have predisposed the dog to massive gastric hemorrhage. This is the first report of buffered aspirin causing clinically significant disease duri ng routine administration.
