The relative severity of gastrointestinal side-effects reported by owners was generated by added a score of 1 for each side-effect reported such as vomiting, diarrhea, inappetence, or weight loss, with a maximum severity score of 4 if all side-effects were reported. If a side-effect was reported multiple times, this was only counted once. Severity scores are significantly higher in the 10 mg/kg minocycline group as compared to the 5 mg/kg doxycycline treated group (F(3,28) = 3.549, P = 0.0278)
