I went out and got a crate the same night, and I placed a portable heater by it. Now he sleeps very warm and sound. But today, he's got diahrea

The vet prescribed some tummy medicine, have to monitor for a few days. He's no longer itchy and in 2 more days, he'll be ready to join Princess and Pipi going crazy in my apartment.
Also...how do u rescuers do it?? I mean...this is the first foster I have, well, I've kept my friend's dog that he didn't want b4, but that doesn't count.........now I feel I'm too attached to Harley to put him up for adoption...I worry that he will not be spoiled in his new home. I mean, I can interview and all that, but most ppl have bad dog keeping habits here.....but I also worry what if I come across another stray that needed help? I sure can't have another dog......
Will post some new pix soon, he's skin & fur looks soooo much better now.......forgot how to house break a puppy, he is soooo much trouble.
