FDA has posted a “Dear Veterinarian” letter to their website regarding the use of aspirin products in lactating dairy cattle. You can read the letter on this page. The letter it states that veterinarians and dairy farmers should stop use of unapproved aspirin in lactating dairy cattle and use FDA-approved products to control pyrexia and pain. In the event that animals have already been treated with aspirin, veterinarians should use their scientific expertise and available resources to set protective and extended milk and meat withdrawal periods for treated animals.
