The vet put a cast on her, but prescribed nothing for pain. She is restless, panting heavily, and whining constantly. I heard baby aspirin would help, but the Vet said not to give her that. Why not? What can we use instead?

She's eating,peeing and pooping fine. This am during our walk she almost completed a mile. She started walking very lightly around her back left paw. I checked it for a thorn, stone, etc...nothings there. She's playful & still walks on all four. She's not yelping/crying. She wasn't injured. It seems like her leg is sore. 1 friend told me to give her aspirin/advil. Another friend told me not to & to start her on glucosamine chondroitin.
