I would watch him for the next 24 hours. Make sure your puppy has enough water to drink. You may add some canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) which may help to retain some moisture in the feces and making it easier to defecate. If your puppy is still constipated on Monday, or if he gets lethargic before Monday, you will need to take Oliver to a veterinarian or PetER for a pet enema.
