Puppies will usually poop and pee after a meal.
Are you sure he's feeding off of his Mom?
I would call the Vet.
Mom usually cleans it up, so if he had and you are not there, well gone thanks to mom. I would not worry unless the pup is not itself, listless or not feeding etc off mom. :wink:

Just one more thing, check moms nipples and make sure she still has milk flowing there and watch bently on the nipple to see that he is still sucking strongly, then after a feed, get a moist piece of cotton wool and just dab around the anal area and that should stimulate him to potty.

Sometimes they need a bit of help if mom does not stimulate them enough after a feed and sometimes a moms milk can dry up early or there is problems with the milk supply due to mastitis and other things.

If you are at all concerned and think there is a problem then take mom and baby straight to a vet
Most of the time with pups that young you never see any poop. They do go of course, but as lisa said, the mom cleans it up quickly.
Any news on the pup?
