My 5 month old 50lb dog ate a medium Wendy’s fry yesterday and has been having watery stool. He is not lethargic or vomiting. He is eating and drinking. The diarrhea is realllllllly watery though. I’m not sure what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 50 lbs

Poor Parker. It may be this fry has upset his stomach. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
