I am going to say what everyone else is too very kind to say. You brought him home on a Friday, and overnight he had diarrehea, you posted here on Sat 2ish, and you were told in no un-certain terms to take your dog to the vet - which You Did Not Do! There are very many vets open on a Saturday!
Liquid Diarrehea in a very young pup is very concerning, coupled with no eating, is doubly even triply concering! What did you do, but go to a Petco to buy a Nutrical or similar supplement. If you knew anything about young puppies be they large or small breed dogs, you would have been on your way to a vet.
Now despite the obvious distress your pup was in, you elected to put him in a towel and not hightail to the vet, is quite distressing to me!
The morale of this story is; Don't buy too young pups Know the signs of distress in any young pup! Liquid Diarrehea and no eating is a distress SOS call for all young pups. Educate yourself on how to safely care for this little bundle of joy you have just purchased. And be ready to pay the vet bills to insure their good and long and healthy life.
Sure hope that you have learnt your lesson on the back of the life of this young puppy!
