Minocycline is an antibiotic that can be used in dogs. If Milo did eat any, you may not see any reaction or you could see some GI upset if he ate more than the recommended dose. Keep an eye on him, and if you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or anorexia, take him into a vet right away. Best of luck.
