| Welcome to YT. You really should take him to the vet. These little ones dehydrate easily and can go downhill fast. Please keep us updated on how he's doing.

| Not going for a couple days after diarrhea can be normal. It sounds like he hasn't eaten in three days. In that case, he needs to see a vet as soon as possible.

| BonBon's right. Diarrhea in these small dogs is not something to be taken lightly. Please let us know how he's doing after you see the vet. Oh, and welcome to YT.

| He could have something as serious as an obstruction. He needs to be seen by a vet asap

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | If he had diarrhea and isn't eating, there's probably nothing in there to poop out. You did say he was drinking, which is a good sign. He still needs to be taken in though, not eating for so long can lead to hypoglycemia. |

| What bad stuff did he eat? You didn't mention that before.

| Good to hear your little one is feeling much better. I think I would still take him to the vet though for a check up. |
