My large dog has stress colitis diarrhea. What should I feed him?

Question

PSA: Fecal pictures attached. My dog has been pooping like this since yesterday morning. He went to the vet yesterday evening around 5pm and was given diagel, however he is still pooping like this. The vet said it seems like stress colitis - our other dog that he grew up with passed away very recently and he is now alone in the house when everyone leaves for work, which is not something he’s used to. He is a 120lb pitbull mix. Please let me know what you think. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 120 lbs

It looks very liquid, from the picture i am not sure i can see traces of blood. offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 3 days. After 3 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the diarrhea does not resolve, take him back to your vet to get it treated.
