What a cutie Marley is! And a trouble maker it sounds like! I am glad to hear he is doing alright. I would recommend calling the animal poison control line to be safe. They may be able to identify the pill type based on the appearance (they have a large database) and give you more information on what to do/monitor for with you pup. They can be reached at (888) 426-4435, and there is a fee for their services, but this would be the safest course of action.
