Puppy not peeing or pooping, but seems okay. When to call vet?

Question

My puppy (12wks) hasn't peed or pooped today. He usually pees every time we let him outside. He ate his breakfast and kept it down so I don't believe its a blockage. Also, late last night (long after dinner) and early this morning (before eating) he heaved but did not throw up. He acted perfectly fine after, even ran around and continued usual puppy activity. His stomach is not distended and he does not seem to feel discomfort when I push on it. His gums don't seem to be flushed. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 23 days old | 15 lbs

I wouldn't be too worried just yet. This can happen with puppies and doesn't necessarily mean anything at this point in time. Keep an eye on him today and tonight and if he hasn't pooped or peed by tomorrow morning, then I would be worried. At that point, I would take him into the vet. Make sure he keeps eating and drinking. If he becomes very lethargic, starts vomiting, or stops eating or drinking before tomorrow morning, then I would rush him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
