My new puppy has only pooped once today. She did get dewormed today and has been acting normal eating and drinking water and playing. When should I be concerned?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would be concerned if Leia was lethargic or not eating. It isn’t abnormal to only go potty once a day or not at all. As long as she is acting normal she will go when she needs to. Congrats and kisses to Leia!
