My new rescue dog isn't pooping much after diarrhea. Is this normal?

Question

Just got a rescue 4 days ago and she won’t potty, only once a day or not at all. She’s eating a bland diet because of her diarrhea the past couple days. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 40.2 lbs

If she had diarrhea and now she is only pooping once a day or every other day that seems pretty expected to me. Most dogs poop poop 1-2 times a day but if their gut was pretty empty from the diarrhea it may take several days to get back to normal pooping schedule. If she is not eating well or if she is vomiting then I would be concerned, otherwise I would see how she does over the next several days. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
