I just had puppies one week ago and noticed the runt is having a bright yellow stool, is this normal? He also dragged it along the other puppies

This can be an indication of irritation or infection of the GI tract. I'd have him checked out by a vet. Be sure to bring his mother and siblings with him to the appointment since he cannot be separated from his mother.
