Hi and Welcome to YT!

Sorry your puppy is having problems. He's a bit young to be away from his Mom yet. Better for him if he stayed till 12 weeks old.

You did good with stimulating him to poop with the damp rag. His butt may get sore so a triple antibiotic ointment may help to soothe it.

The blood is of some concern, but may be from irritated intestines. You may want to try to stimulate him to poop a few more times before you leave work.

It may be the change in food that has him stopped up. If he strains too much without going, and is still vomiting and not going, definitely take him back to the vet. He may have eaten something not food and it may be blocking him. If he seems real lethargic, I'd take him back asap. If he's not eating or drinking, I wouldn't wait too long. Good Luck, let us know how he does at the vet's.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
