My dog has watery diarrhea after Simparica. Should I go to the vet?

Question

My dog is having diarrhea after I gave her Simparica, it’s very watery and I am trying to figure out if I should take her to the hospital or what to look out for. She is a one and a half year old Husky. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 1 year and 8 months old | 50 lbs

Watery diarrhea is concerning, because this can cause her to quickly become dehydrated. If it was due to the Simparica, then it would expected to be resolved within a day or two. If the diarrhea last longer than that, or Freyja is acting very lethargic, starts having tremors, or having bloody diarrhea, then it's best to take her to the vet as soon as possible for treatment. For now, it will be good to add oral rehydration salts, or Pedialyte to her water in order to keep her hydrated.
