Default I purchased a sick puppy

Hello everyone,
I purchased a Yorkie from a petshop (against my better judgement). The puppy came home and became very sick with sniffles,congestion,and a cough. My puppy was extremely weak and would not eat. The next morning she was worse. I could hardly wake her up and when I stood her up she would fall over. I fed her some Nutrical (which contains Corn syrup) I put it on her nose and she licked it off. I took her to the vet asap and he said she has Kennel cough and she was hypoglicemic and thats why she was so weak. I have to give her 2 antibiotics a day and feed her babyfood w/ caro syrup.I have also been taking her to the vet for breathing treatments (for her congestion). THe puppy is doing alot better but still congested and still not eating on her own. I feed her with a spoon! She is getting more spunky everday!
My concern is that she has not pooped since wednesday night.. I dont understand why she hasnt gone, she has consumed 2 small jars of chicken baby food with Caro in 3 days..I am worried!

I feel like I am taking care of a newborn baby! I thought I was purchasing a puppy,A dog!!! I have this baby on my lap all day wrapped in a blanket, feeding it by hand and I have even cried! Over a DOG!!! It's so funny I just love her, I dont feel like she is a dog at all.

Ok sorry so long, I just needed to vent to someone who would understand. Should I worry that my dog has not pooped in 3 days?
