Default New Boy struggling to ppop

Hi, I am Ice and a new Yorkie mom and new poster. I got Danny-Boy on Saturday and he has just turned 7 weeks. After a day or so, I saw him struggling to poop and nothing coming out. I took him to the vet who gave him an enema and put him on a deworming course.

He got the enema last night, he has vomited a little when we got home (he ate just before we went to the vet and did not vomit a lot either). The problem is he refuses to eat or drink anything since then. I tried the pumkin which he loves, and not even that! I have gave him some water with a syringe at least to keep him hydrated as he only weighs 500grams.

I slipped him into my office at work today, to keep an eye on him. He again struggled to poop with nothing coming out. So I washed his bum with a bit of lukewarm water and massaged his bum softly with a wet cloth. He had a few good "goes" after that - but now I see brighred blood in the poo. The poo is not like diarhee, but not completely firm either.

I am taking him to the vet again after work, but would appreciate anyone's comment especially if they have had similar experiences.

It is like having a firts baby!!
