Dog scratching, tremors after Advantix. When to see the vet?

Question

Administered Advantix11 on 4/42/17 on my dog who is 3yrs old n weighs 20-25lbs. washed off the next day with Dawn bcus of paresthesia confirmed by Petmeds n Bayer reps. He scratched, chewed, licked he's tail and paw to the skin. Today my dog seems better went for a long walk n he was fine but he is still has tremors n is scratching n wimps from time to time. Should I take him to the vet or just wait it out? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 7 months old | 24 lbs

Usually that skin sensitivity is transient and isolated to where you applied the advantix. As long as he is otherwise acting normally, eating and drinking. I think it's safe to wait another day. If he is depressed, not eating or has lesions on his skin like scabs or scratches you should take him into a vet.
