My 4-week-old puppy had diarrhea, now he's not pooping. What to do?

Question

I have a four-week-old bullmastiff German Shepherd mix puppy and he had diarrhea four a day, maybe a little more, and now he hasn't pooped since yesterday. He is orphaned with his sister, but they have the same diet and she's fine. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 27 days old | 2 lbs

Hello. Diarrhea can clean out the bowels & it may take a day or so for enough stool to start passing through. As long as Tucker is eating & not straining to defecate in any way, he should have a BM soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
