Has your puppy had a bowel movement since the vet visit? Stress is a factor but not going for several days is a health issue. Also, NO vaccines should be given to this puppy until it is 8 weeks old. The puppy receives immunity from the mothers milk. Any vaccines given to the puppy under 8 weeks old are useless and would have to be given again when he is 8 weeks old. April 13 now it's the 11th your puppy will be 7 weeks old and you stated he is going for "his next set of shots". I think you should be seeing another vet. No vet should be giving a 6 week old any vaccines. Another concern I have is....you have a 7 month old Rotti and a wee little 6 week old yorkie, two puppies that play HARD, my concern is your Rotti puppy will crush this wee lil yorkie, I see disaster here. I do hope when these two puppies are together you are there to closely supervise them. A puppy Rotti rough housing with a 6 week old yorkie  . Please supervise carefully.

Totally. Op may need to take 'mat leave'. Because at 6 weeks, I wouldn't dare leave the house!
It's really unfortunate that backyard breeders are pumping out these puppies for $$, letting them go before 12-15 weeks, and not caring for the puppies' well-being.
