My dog Milo might have eaten minocycline pills. Is it dangerous?

There isn't anything highly toxic in Milo for dogs, he might show some hyper excitability symptoms, vomiting or diarrhea but he should be fine.

This is unlikely to cause any issue but doxycycline can be quite irritant to the throat and gullet if it stays lodged without food to carry it down to the stomach. It should always be followed by eating a small amount of food or a drink as a precaution against this

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Mini getting into this. I don't think that this is going to be a problem but it is possible that Mini will develop some stomach/intestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping from the ingestion. If she ingested 1/2 of the tube, that's about 100-150 mg of the antibiotic which is well within the range for her normal dose if she was put on a similar antibiotic from your vet. I would monitor her and if signs develop and don't resolve, I would at least call your veterinarian and see what they advise. They may want to see her and then advise some treatment for her signs if they develop and don't resolve. Good luck with Mini.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Boss will be fine, there is no need to take him to the vet. Doxycycline is used in dogs fairly often. At the dose he ingested there should not be any side effects at all.

Oh no, that was naughty of Baxter! He took about five times the recommended dose of ampicillin. This will likely cause a reaction in the form of vomiting, drooling, and diarrhea, but more serious effects such as tremors or seizures. If you see tremors or seizures, Baxter will have to see a vet immediately. Should you see vomiting and diarrhea, withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet.

I’m assuming both dogs are about the same weight. If so the doxycycline could cause vomiting or upset stomach but there would be no other major concerns. If one of your dogs is smaller you should repost your question. Be sure to let your vet know and to get a refill so the prescription can be finished.

Hello. This is twice the normal dude for him, but this is a very safe antibiotic with very low chance of toxicity. I doubt that Skipper will suffer any side effects, but to guard against nausea...try to feed him a little to reduce the chance that he could vomit . Other than the small chance of upset stomach, this is not a problem. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
