Hi my puppy is 7 weeks old, and we got him about a week ago. He has received all the shots he needs thus far, and next week he will going in for his 8 week shots. However I live in an apartment complex and I have taken him outside to a spot where other dogs usually use the restroom.. I am afraid that I may have put him danger of catching a disease, are there any warning signs I should look out for that may alert me that he has caught something? and are there any preventive measures I can take?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is unlikely that he caught anything. You can just monitor Ares for any signs of illness such as inappetence, vomiting or diarrhea and have him examined if observed. However, that is unlikely. I can tell that you take great care of your pup. Good luck!
