My dog has watery diarrhea after Bravecto. What should I do?

Question

I just gave Gunner a Bravecto chewable and now when he goes to poop it's literally water. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 12 days old

Bravecto may cause diarrhea in some dogs. If Gunner is behaving normally otherwise, withhold food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte as log as he is not vomiting. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Feed this way until the stool is normal before transitioning solely to the regular diet. A bland diet is plain white rice mixed with one of the following: cottage cheese, ground turkey, ground beef (cooked/drained) or boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast. If the diarrhea does not stop or if Gunner develops other symptoms (lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, etc.), then have him seen by your veterinarian.
