Some of the stool appears to be normal in color the other is quite yellow but the consistency appears to be normal, which is good. Bile is normally released into the gastrointestinal tract and can cause stools to have a yellow color. Sometimes stools can be colored due to dyes in food or other things they may have ingested. I wouldn't be concerned as the consistency of the stool appears normal as long as your dog is otherwise acting normal eating and vomiting.
