My Max is around 7 weeks old now and has had a few accidents. for the most part though he is pretty good about going to the bathroom outside his kennel and on the puppy pad (when we can move him in time). His schedule is as follows...

5 or 5:30 - boyfriend wakes up with him to let him eat, poop, pee then he is back in kennel until i wake up at 7 or 7:30 for him to play and potty again. i come home around 11 or 11:30 to feed him again and let him go potty. then it's back home at 5 to let him out to potty and play then he eats again around 6 or 6:30 then potty again. this is the same routine every day. he has been doing very well...sunday (which was completely my fault ~ new owner mistake) i had to leave the house before his feeding time and i was only going to be gone a couple hours and be back...so i left some dry food (just a little) in his kennel so he wouldnt starve...he ended up pooping in his kennel...not much and it was on the towels in there...everything seemed ok. i've started to take him outside to do his business to try to train him to go outside instead of the puppy pad indoors. well yesterday the same routine went on and everything seemed fine. i went home around 12 and fed him and he pooped and peed....when Chris (my boyfriend) came home he found max in his kennel with poop everywhere...all over his body, all over the kennel like he had been trying to claw his way out...i felt like the worst mommy ever!!! while chris was cleaning him off Max threw up on him (he said it looked like mucus) then he took max out to potty and he had diarrhea...i am so nervous! what do i do? I'm not sure if he had diarrhea and that's what made him poop in his kennel or if pooping in his kennel stressed him out so bad that he had diarrhea and volmitting. normally after he eats he poops pretty quickly...well since this incident he doesnt poop like he normally does. after he ate yesterday at 6 he wouldnt go...i tried to make him go but no luck...last night around 11 he started whining and i normally dont let him out but since he hadnt pooped i went and let him do his thing and he did and it came out normal...not diarrhea...but this morning he wouldnt go either...can anyone help???
