My elderly dog, Elroy, was recently diagnosed with heartworm and started treatment with doxycycline. The vet prescribed 2.5 100 mg tablets twice daily, but I administered 1.5 tablets twice daily as per verbal instructions. Elroy experienced severe diarrhea and nausea. After temporarily discontinuing the medication and feeding him a bland diet of rice and chicken, he seemed to improve. However, when returned to his normal diet, the diarrhea resumed. I am concerned about the dosage being too high and its impact on Elroy's health. What should I do?

My dog, Coco, a 1 1/2-year-old, 20-pound dog, ate some GreenCellFoam, a bio-based foam material made from corn that dissolves with water. She bit off the edges of two pieces, but it's hard to quantify how much she ate. She hasn't vomited yet. What should I do to ensure she's safe and help the foam dissolve in her stomach?
