Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Poe. You can see a period of not pooping after having diarrhea. It may take 24-48 hours before he poops again, sometimes longer. Given that he is eating and drinking, I would not be too worried just yet. If he hasn't pooped after 72 hours, then I would have him checked out by a vet. I hope this helps.
